Answering system settings

Number of rings before the unit
answers a call
You can change the number of times the
phone rings "Number of Rings" before the
unit answers a call. You can select 2 to 6 rings,
or "Auto".
The default setting is "4 Rings".
"Auto": The unit's answering system answers
at the end of the 2nd ring when new messages
have been recorded, or at the end of the 5th
ring when there are no new messages. If you
call your phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 43), you know that there are
no new messages when the phone rings for
the 3rd time. You can then hang up without
being charged for the call.

For voice mail service subscribers
To receive voice mail and use answering
system properly, please note the following:
L To use the voice mail service (page 45)
provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the unit's
answering system, turn off the answering
system (page 40).
L To use this unit's answering system rather
than the voice mail service provided by your
service provider/telephone company,
please contact your service provider/
telephone company to deactivate your
voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone company
cannot do this:
– Set this unit's "Number of Rings"
setting so that this unit's answering
system answers calls before the voice
mail service of your service provider/
telephone company does. It is necessary
to check the number of rings required to
activate the voice mail service provided
by your service provider/telephone
company before changing this setting.

– Change the number of rings of the voice

so, contact your service provider/
telephone company.
