Ring setting in TAM/FAX mode
You can change the number of rings before the
unit answers calls. You can choose from “
2”
(default), “ 3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”,
“ TOLL SAVER” and “RINGER OFF”. This
setting can be changed by feature #06 on page
67.
“
TOLL SAVER”: The unit answers after 2 rings
when new messages have been recorded, and
after 4 rings when there are no new messages. If
you call your unit from outside to listen to new
messages (page 64), you will know that there are
no new messages when the unit rings for the 3rd
time. You can then hang up without being
charged for the call.
Note:
