Freestyle 650 – Edition 2 – 30.03.06 – 7335

32 Using the answering machine

You can only delete your own outgoing message, not the pre- recorded message.

What is Time Saver?

Time Saver can save you the cost of call when you want to ring in to find out if you have new messages (see ‘Remote access’, page 36).

If you have new messages, your answering machine answers after 2 rings. If you do not have new messages, it answers after 6 rings. This gives you a chance to hang up before the line is connected.

3.During playback, press Del . The machine will stop playing your outgoing message and will revert to and play the pre-recorded outgoing message.

Answer delay

Answer delay is the number of times your BT Freestyle 650 rings before the answering machine picks up calls and starts playing the outgoing message to callers. You can choose between 2–9 rings, or Time Saver. The default setting is 6 rings.

Adjust answer delay

1.Press Skip . The machine announces, “Calls will be answered after X rings.”

2.Press and hold Skip . The machine announces the settings in turn. Release the button when you hear the answer delay you want. The new setting is announced.

Security PIN

Your 3-digit PIN lets you access your answering machine remotely from another phone. For security reasons, it is recommended that you change the PIN from the original setting of 000.
