Ring Count Change¹ (Customer-Controlled Ringing)

With Ring Count Change, you can set the number of times your phone rings before callers forward to your mailbox (minimum 2 rings; maximum 9 rings). The setting can be changed at any time, as often as you wish.

To set up Ring Count Change:

1. Lift handset, and press [5] [8] [#]. (In some areas you must press [*] [5] [8].)
   • If you hear three short bursts of dial tone, the system is forwarded prompting you to enter the number of rings you want to hear before the call is forwarded to your mailbox. You can set the number of rings from 2-9. For example: If you want to hear your phone ring twice before the call is forwarded to your mailbox, press [2]; if you want your phone to ring 5 times press [5]. OR
   • If you hear a normal dial tone after you enter [5] [8] [#], the system it is prompting you to enter the number of seconds you want your phone to ring before the call is forwarded to your mailbox. (Refer to the rings-to-seconds conversion chart on page 45 to set the number of rings.)
2. You will hear another stutter dial tone, or a confirmation signal, either of which validates your selection.
3. Hang up to complete the process.

_{NOTE: The setting for Ring Count Change only affects your telephone line when your telephone line is not in use and a ringing call is not answered. When your telephone line is in use, your incoming calls will always forward immediately to voicemail.}

_{¹ Optional features are available for a low, monthly fee. If optional features are added after installation, additional installation fees apply. Contact your Hawaiian Telcom Business Office for more information.}

Use the chart below for reference if the system prompts you to enter the number of seconds your telephone rings before forwarding calls to your mailbox.

For example: If you want your phone to ring twice before the call is forwarded to your mailbox, press [1] [0]; if you want your phone to ring 9 times, press [5] [2].

TIP: A setting of 9 rings is like turning off voicemail, as most callers will hang up before the 9th ring.

Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK¹

Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK is a signal which activates a flashing lamp on CLASS/FSK-capable telephone sets or adjunct display devices to indicate you have a NEW message in your mailbox.

When using Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK on a CLASS-capable telephone set or adjunct device, you will get both a flashing lamp and stutter dial tone for NEW messages in your mailbox.

Not all telephone sets or display devices are CLASS/FSK compatible, even if they use a flashing lamp to indicate a NEW message. (Example: Some telephone sets can activate the message-waiting lamp via stutter dial tone, while other telephone sets work with a signal internal to the phone system.)

It is important that you know the specific technology associated with your telephone set, system, or display device to determine compatibility with Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK. The user manual for your telephone set or the equipment manufacturer’s Help Desk are the best sources for this information.

If you want a flashing lamp to alert you when you get a NEW message in your mailbox, your Hawaiian Telcom Business Office can provide information regarding a CLASS-capable telephone set, and Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK.

_{NOTE: Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK feature is not available in all areas.}

_{¹ Optional feature Visual Message Waiting Indicator/CLASS/FSK can be added at no additional fee. If added after installation, additional installation fees apply. Contact your Hawaiian Telcom Business Office for more information.}

Set-up and access instructions for Enhanced Mailboxes are the same as for Standard Mailboxes.

Announcement-Only Mailboxes (Answer-Only Mailboxes)

Optional Mailbox Arrangement

Group Mailboxes (Extension Mailboxes)¹

Once callers make their choice (by pressing the right key on their phone’s keypad), they hear the greeting for the selected Group Mailbox. If the selected mailbox is a type that accepts messages, they can then leave a message at the tone.

As an option, callers can choose to listen to the Gateway Greeting and wait for automatic system transfer to Group Mailbox #1, then leave a message at the tone.*

Standard Numeric ID for Group Mailboxes is Group Mailbox “1,” Group Mailbox “2,” or Group Mailbox “3,” etc.

_{NOTE: Numeric ID for the Gateway Greeting is always “0”.}

For instructions on how to manage the feature settings for your mailbox, refer to the appropriate section of this user guide (see pages 2 and 3 for the Table of Contents).}

_{Your business can select the quantity of mailboxes in the group (maximum 99), and select the mail box package-with any applicable optional features-for each mailbox in the group. *IMPORTANT: Announcement-Only Mailbox not recommended for Mailbox 1; the Deluxe Mailbox package is only applicable for Mailbox 1.}
