Answer machine 57
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 10 
seconds. If you don’t have new 
messages it will answer after 
20 seconds. 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. Therefore, the answer 
delay should be less than on 
your voicemail service. For BT 
1571 do not set the answer 
delay to more than 5 rings.
