Time saver
When you ring in to access your
answer machine remotely, if
you have set Time saver as the
answer delay and you have new
messages it will answer after
2 rings. If you don’t have new
messages it will answer after 6
rings. This means you can hang
up knowing that you have no
new messages, saving you the
time and the cost of the call.
For compatibility with BT 1571
(or another voicemail service)
Make sure the answer delay is
set for your answer machine
to answer before the voicemail
service. For BT 1571 do not set
the answer delay to more than
5 rings.
The default setting is 3 minutes.
When the allocated time is
reached your caller will hear,
“Thank you for calling” and the
answer machine will hang up.
Set the answer delay
The answer delay setting sets how many times the
phone will ring before the answer machine takes
the call. You can choose from 2-9 rings or Time
saver. The default setting is 5 rings.
