BT 3500 manual Time saver, To check for messages remotely

Quartet 3500 User Guide ~ 5th Edition ~ 17th January ’03 ~ 4393

Note

You cannot use this feature if you have BT Answer 1571 or Call Minder active, as the call will be intercepted before the 20 rings.

Note

If you have new messages they will be played after you have entered your security code.

To check for messages remotely

Dial your telephone number and wait.

When you hear your outgoing message, press the ✱ button. You will hear, “Please enter your security code”.

Enter your 3-digit PIN code.

If you have new messages, you will hear, “You have (n) new messages”, and your messages will be played back.

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.

Note

If you enter your security PIN code incorrectly you will hear, “Incorrect security code, please enter your security code”. Re-enter your security PIN code. If you enter it incorrectly the second time, you will hear, Incorrect security code, thank you for calling”, and will then hang up.
