Answer Delay
Answer delay sets the number of times your BT Paragon 450 will ring
before the answering machine picks up your call. The default setting is
6 rings. You can change this setting to 2-9 ringsor Time Saver.
Time Saver can save you the cost of a call when you want to ring in to
find out if you have new messages.
If your answering machine answers after 2 rings, you have new messages.
If you have no new messages it will answer after 6 rings. So if you hear
a third ring, you can hang up before you are connected, saving you the
cost of a call.
