SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS
To control the duration before the unit answers a call, slide the switch on the
rear side of the unit to the desired number of rings (2, 6,or TS).
TS (Toll Saver) – If you choose the Toll Saver option, and there are new
messages, the unit answers after two rings. Otherwise, the unit answers after
six rings.This lets you avoid unnecessary charges when calling by long distance
to check your messages. If you hear more than two rings, you know you can
hang up because the unit has no new messages.
SETTING THE INCOMING MESSAGE LENGTH
Set the slide switch on the rear side of the unit to 1 or 5 MIN (minutes) to
