Answer delay

Answer delay sets the number of times your BT Freestyle 225 will ring before the answering machine picks up your call. The default setting is 6 rings. You can change this setting to 2-8 rings or to time saver mode.

1.Press Menu twice to enter the answering machine mode.

2.Press or until Ans settings is displayed. Press Menu to select. Listen to the voice prompt, “To hear the main menu, press 1”.

3. Press 1 to hear the menu choices.

4.Keep pressing until you hear the answer delay setting you want.

5. Press and hold Clr to return to standby mode.

Remote access

You can operate your answering machine remotely from any Touchtone™ phone by calling your BT Freestyle 225 and entering a 4-digit security code.

Time Saver

Time Saver can save you the cost of a call when you want to ring in to find out if you have new messages.

If your answering machine answers after 2 rings, you have new messages. If you have no new messages it will answer after 6 rings.

So if you hear a third ring, you can hang up before you are connected, saving you the cost of a call.

Keep a note of your remote access code by writing it in the space provided on page 56.

The default PIN setting is 0000.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
