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.
