TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF. This
setting can be changed by feature #06 on page

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

no new messages when the unit rings for the 3rd
time. You can then hang up without being
charged for the call.
