ANSWERING SYSTEM SETUP
Setting the Ring Count
The ring count setting will prompt the
BE-3872 to pick up an incoming call
with the answering machine after 2, 4,
or TS (tollsaver 2/4) rings. There is a
ringer switch on the bottom of the base;
adjust this switch to the number of rings
that you desire.
2R: The unit will pick up after two rings.
4R: The unit will pick up after four rings.
TS: The answering machine will pick up after four rings if there are no new
messages or after two rings if there are. This enables you to hang up after the
third ring when checking your messages remotely (which saves toll charges).
