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.
