Time saver

When you ring in to access your messages remotely, if your answering machine is set to time saver and you have new messages it will answer after 2 rings, if you do not have any new messages, it will answer after 6 rings. This means you can hang up after 3 rings knowing you have no new messages, saving you time and the cost of the call.

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.

Your handset will automatically return to standby if no button is pressed for 8 seconds or more.

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

If you enter the incorrect PIN code you will be allowed one further attempt, if it is still incorrect you will hear, “Thank you for calling”, and your BT Synergy 4500 will hang up.
