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 9
rings, or “Auto”.
The default setting is “5 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 40), 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:
R To use the voice mail service (page 43)
provided by your service provider/telephone
company rather than the unit’s answering
system, turn off the answering system
(page 36).
R 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.
