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 an incorrect PIN code you will hear
‘Incorrect security code. Please enter your
security code’. You can try entering the code
again. If it is still incorrect you will hear the voice
prompt and your BT Synergy will hang up.
If no button is pressed for 8 seconds or more your
BT Synergy will hang up.
