Time saver
The time saver feature is useful if you are out and want to ring in and check if you have received any new messages.
If your answering machine is set to time saver you can check whether you have new messages or not before your answering machine actually answers your call. If you have new messages your answering machine will answer after 2 rings, if you do not have any new messages, it will not answer until 6 rings. This enables you to hang up before you are connected, saving you time and the cost of a call. See page 37 to set the answer delay to time saver.
If you have no new messages, you will hear, “You have no new messages, to hear main menu press 1”.
You have 8 seconds to press the 1 button before your answering machine hangs up.
