Setting the ANS/FAX mode ring count

This feature determines the number of rings after which the unit answers a call in the ANS/FAX mode. You can choose from 2 to 9, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.
TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are any
new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded messages. Hang up immediately when you hear the third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new messages. This will save you the toll charge for the call.
RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.
Helpful hints:
•To answer a call before the unit does, increase the number of rings.
• If you find difficulty in receiving faxes from machines that have an automatic transmission feature, decrease the number of rings.
