Personalizing the

When the answering machine is switched on, it answers after the number of 
rings you have set.
A call which is not answered by a handset, is picked up by the answering 
machine after three to twelve rings (five is default).
To set the number of rings before answering:
Route:
BaseStation » AnswerMach » Settings » NoOfRings
1. Select 
NoOfRings
 and press YES.
The current number of rings is displayed.
2. Enter the number of rings before answering (3 - 12).
3. Press 
YES to confirm.
The number of rings before answering a call is now set.
Toll save feature
If you want to play back messages via the external line, the toll save feature 
can save calling expenses by differentiating between the number of rings 
before answering. If the answering machine:
• Answers after two rings; there is a new message.
• Continues to ring after two rings; there are no new messages. You can 
hang up now.
If no new message has been received while using the toll save feature, the 
answering machine answers after the number of rings set with menu option 
NoOfRings
 (see above).
To set the toll save feature:
Route:
BaseStation » AnswerMach » Settings » TollSave
1. Select 
TollSave
 and press YES.
The current setting is displayed.
2. Use the 
UP or DOWN key to select the setting you want.
3. Press 
YES to confirm.
