messages (p. 59). For the voice memory capacity of
incoming messages, see page 91.

TAD/FAX MODE
Ring setting in TAD/FAX mode
You can choose from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.
This setting can be changed by feature #06 on
page 70.
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 2nd ring, there is at least
one new recorded message. If the unit
answers on the 4th ring, there are no new
recorded messages. To save the toll charges
for the call, hang up immediately when you
hear the 3rd ring. The 3rd ring indicates that
there are no new recorded messages.
RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without
ringing.
