Answer and Record is the default message setting.

Your BT Verve 500 can digitally record up to 28 minutes of messages. As well as recording incoming messages, you can record memos for other users of your BT Verve 500.

You can operate your answering machine from:

•the handset, see page 43.

•the base, see page 51.

•remotely, from any other Touchtone™ telephone, see page 53.

Your BT Verve 500 comes with two pre-recorded outgoing messages:

Answer and Record – allows callers to leave a message. Or

Answer Only – If you choose this message, callers will not be able to leave a message.

You can also record your own personalised outgoing messages.

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 8.

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