42Answering machine

Your BT Synergy can digitally record up to 12 minutes of messages or up to 59 messages. Each message can last up to a maximum of 3 minutes. As well as recording incoming messages, you can record memos for other users.

You can operate your answering machine from:

•the handset or the base.

•remotely, from any other Touchtone™ telephone, see page 47.

Your BT Synergy comes with two pre-recorded outgoing messages, Answer and Record or Answer Only, but if you wish you can record your own.

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, see page 30. (The default day and time setting is 01/01/08 12:00PM.)

Answer delay sets the number of times your BT Synergy will ring before the answer machine picks up your call and starts playing the outgoing message.

You can change this setting to between 2–9 rings or Time Saver.

The default setting is 6 rings.

For information on Time Saver, see Switch your answering machine on remotely, page 47.
