I want to change the number of rings before the answer message engages. Need to set more rings before I pick up. Currently goes to voice message after 3-4 rings would like to change it to 7-8 rings
Press *94, then press the number of rings you want 1-9. The tone will change and thats it.
From the main menu select the Voice Mail option in Voice mail select Ring Delay in Ring Delay you can choose the delay time before Answering Machine pick up the phone from 0 to 30 secend I have a Gigaset S445 I don't know the other models have this option or not.Reza from Iran
To make sure the printer picks up
incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up
after a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For example, if the
answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick
up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and
your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects
the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.
If you have a voicemail feature associated in the same line as your fax:
Voice mail and fax can share the
same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service offered by
your telephone company. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone
numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring
pattern (single ring, double ring, triple ring, or double and triple ring). The
different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed, and
which device you should use to answer the call.
If you do not have distinctive ring service, then set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). This setting lets you receive both voice calls and fax calls, but works best if you use voice mail more often. You need to turn off voice mail whenever you are expecting a fax.

My phone goes straight to voicemail after 2 rings. Need to change it to 4
I'm having this same problem and the user manual doesn't address this. 3 rings is not enough time to reach the phone in our house, so many stairs...
Follow instructions and stays on three rings
I have the opposite problem. The answering machine does not pick up until at least 5 rings and many people hang up before then. I tried the *94 thing, but it does not seem to accept that from the cordless phone. Is there some other procedure. There is nothing in the owner's manual about this.
My phone dirtectly goes to the voicemail after 2 rings. I would like to have more number of rings'.
