BT Diverse 5450 ~ 6th Edition ~ 29th August ’03 ~ 5199

Setting up and personalising your answering machine

You can operate your BT Diverse 5450 answering machine from:

•The base unit.

•The handset.

•Remotely from any external TouchtoneTM telephone.

The factory setting for the answering machine is ON, so you can use it as soon as you have charged up your BT Diverse 5450 handset. Your callers will be greeted with a pre-recorded outgoing message ‘Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone’.

You will need to set the date and time (if you have not already done so) so that you will know when each message was received. You can set the date and time manually (see page 15) or if you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display service, the date and time will be set automatically as soon as you receive your first call.

Mailboxes

You can set up to 3 individual mailboxes in the answering machine so different users can keep their messages separate. The same outgoing message is used for all three mailboxes.

For further information please refer to page 68.

Outgoing messages

The outgoing message is the greeting a caller first hears when the answering machine picks up their call. Your

BT Diverse 5450 gives you a choice of 2 outgoing messages, one for ‘Answer and Record’ mode and one for ‘Answer Only’ mode.

Answer and Record

The pre-recorded outgoing message for Answer and Record is ‘Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone’.

If you wish, you can record your own outgoing message. See ‘To record your own outgoing message’ page 58.
