Switch your answering machine on remotely

If your answering machine is switched off, but remote control is set to on, you can ring your BT Verve 500 from another phone and switch the answering machine on remotely.

1.Dial your telephone number and let it ring. After 20 rings you will hear the voice prompt “Please enter your security code”.

2.Press # then enter your 3-digit security code. You will hear a long beep. Press 8 to switch the answering machine on. If you don’t hear a long beep after entering the code, enter it again.

Check for messages remotely

To be able to switch on your BT Verve 500 remotely from another phone you must have set ‘Remote Control’ to ON.

If ‘Remote Control’ is switched ‘off’ and you ring in, after 20 rings your answering machine will take the call and begin to play the ‘Answer only’ outgoing message.

If you enter the incorrect PIN code you will be allowed two further attempts, if it is still incorrect your BT Verve 500 will hang up.

If you left your answering machine on and remote control is also set to on, you can ring your BT Verve 500 and check for messages remotely.

1.Dial your phone number. When you hear your outgoing message press # then enter your 3-digit security code.

You will hear a long beep. Press 2 to play all messages or press # then 2 to play all new messages.

Operating your answering machine remotely

When you have accessed your answering machine messages, you can use any of the button presses shown on the following page to control answering machine operations:

Time saver

When you ring in to access your messages remotely, if you have set the ‘Answer Delay’ setting (page 43-

44)to ‘Automatic’ (time saver) and you have new messages it will answer 2 rings, if you do not have any new messages, it will answer after 6 rings. This means you can hang up after 5 rings knowing you have no new messages, saving you time and the cost of the call.

You cannot use this feature if you have BT Answer 1571 or Call Minder active as the call will be intercepted before the 2 rings.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 242 6652 or email bthelpdesk@convergys.com
