Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after
two, three, four, five or six rings. You can also select toll saver. If
toll saver is selected, the answering system answers a call after two
rings when you have new messages, and after four rings when there
are no new messages. This feature allows you to check for new
messages and avoid paying long distance charges when calling from
out of your local area. By default, the answering system answers an
incoming call after four rings.
