We recommend you program your telephone system before use. The following are a few examples of common features to set before using the telephone. Refer to the Handset settings and Answering system settings in the Abridged user’s manual or the online Complete user’s manual for detailed instructions on setting all telephone features.

Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five or six rings, or toll saver. If you choose toll saver, the answering
system answers a call after two rings when you have new messages, or after
four rings when there are no new messages. This enables you to check for new
messages and avoid paying unnecessary long distance charges if you are calling
from out of your local area.
If you want the built-in answering system instead of the voicemail to answer a
call, you should set the answering system to answer a call at least two rings
before the voicemail is set to answer. Contact your telephone service provider
for information on your voicemail settings.
