If you have a voice mail service e.g.
1571 please ensure that the ring
delay is set to answer before the
voicemail service. Therefore, the
ring delay should be less than on
the voicemail if you want the
BT3550 answer machine to
answer calls.
Time saver
If you have set the answer delay to
Time Saver, your answering machine
will answer after 2 rings if you have
new messages. If you do not have new
messages it will answer after 6 rings.
This enables you to hang up if you
hear more than 2 rings before you are
connected, saving you the cost
of a call.
