How do you change the amount of rings to less before the answering machine answers?

SOURCE: No ring and no answering machine.

My phones work, but the answering machine does not play back. My friends say that the machine on their end leaves a message.

SOURCE: The Answering Machine won't pick up, phone just rings

the cordless phone was working in power and inbuild batteries. answering machine is not like that. It does not have inbuild batteries! keep seperate batteries for answering machine OR otherwise keep UPS.
thank you...........

SOURCE: answering macihne won't answer, disconnects after a few minutes

unplug your unit and allow it a few minutes to reset it's self. than call it using a cell phone and see if it does the same thing. If so check you menu option and make sure that the anserwing machine is not set up to only record for a certain period of time before disconnecting the call.

Hello, here is the link to the manual for that model:

The information is on page 28

SOURCE: How to change the numbr or rings before...

1) With the phone in standby mode, press the menu/clock key three times.
You hear “Ring time” and the current ring time ([2 ], [ 4], [6 ], [T ] Toll
saver), and it is displayed on the main base. Then you hear the guidance for setting
the ring time.

2) Press the volume/select/ or up or down arrow key until the desired ring time appears.

3) Press the set key to select the new ring time. You hear a confirmation tone, then
the announcement “Ring time” followed by the new ring time. After a few
seconds, the system announces “To set record time, press menu again.”
