Answer machine 48
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. 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.
