Answering system settings

Number of rings

You can change the number of times the phone rings before the unit answers a call.
1
Tap [Landline] in the home screen or app list.
2
Tap [Answering system].
R The handset connects to the base unit.
3
Tap [Settings] ® [Number of rings].
4
Select the desired setting.
R If you select [Auto], the 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 home phone from outside to listen to new messages using
remote operation (page 33), you will 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 voicemail service subscribers
To receive voicemail and use the answering system properly, please note the following:
R To use your phone service provider's voicemail service (page 46) rather than the unit's
answering system, turn off the answering system (page 30).
R To use the base unit's answering system rather than your phone service provider's voicemail
service, please ask the service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.
If your phone service provider cannot do this:
– Set the answering system's [Number of rings] setting (page 36) so that it answers calls
before your voicemail service does. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to
activate your voicemail service before changing this setting.
– Increase the number of rings required for your phone service provider's voicemail service,
so that the base unit's answering system can answer calls before your voicemail service
does. Contact your phone service provider as necessary.
