Information about ring delay
In Automatic mode, the following applies
for ring delay:
u If there are no new messages, the answer-
ing machine answers a call after
18 seconds.
u If new messages are present, the answer-
ing machine answers a call after 10 sec-
onds.
When operating remotely (
¢ page 66),
you can tell after approx. 15 seconds that
there are no new messages (otherwise the
answering machine would have already
accepted your call). There are no call charges
if you hang up now.
Please note:
You can configure your telephone so that
the first ringer is suppressed on all calls
(page 54). This means that the time set for
the ring delay predetermines how long the
caller must wait before the answering
machine accepts the call (not how long it
rings).
