How Toll Saver Works

IF YOU HAVE SET THE RING
SELECT SWITCH TO TOLL SAVER
(TS), when calling your unit from a
remote location to check for your
messages, listen to the number of rings:

1. No New Message Received
If your phone rings more than two times,
you have no new messages. You can
hang up on the third ring before your unit
answers, and save the cost of the call.

Note:If no new messages are received,
your unit will answer the call after the
fifth ring.

2. New Messages Received
If your unit answers after only 2 rings,
you have received new messages. Refer
to page 20 for message retrieval
instructions.

Voice Activated

Your FM2575 records messages for up to
60 seconds as long as the caller speaks.

hangups and to save message capacity,
your unit will automatically stop
recording after 7 seconds of silence.

the TIME SET/REPEAT button to
complete the procedure. You will hear the
time and day you have set. If you want to
set a new time/day, press and hold
