Connecting An Answering Machine To Your Image 2000 - BT IMAGE 2000 User Manual

Using the recall button
If you have an ordinary telephone extension to
a switchboard/PBX, you would normally use
the button to put a call on hold and
RECALL
transfer it to another extension.
The button can also be used in
RECALL
conjunction with BT Select Services.
If you are a BT customer connected to a digital
exchange, you can subscribe to a range of BT's Select

network provider for information about their

You can programme the recall button to
provide either "Earth" or "Timed Break"
recall. It is preset to "Timed Break" and this
will be correct for all direct lines and most
installations.
If your Image 2000 is installed on a
switchboard line you may need to change the
recall to "Earth". (See connecting to a
switchboard, Page 56.)
Connecting an
answering machine to
your Image 2000
To ensure your answering machine interworks
with your Image 2000 you must plug it into the
socket above the telephone line cord socket on
the back of your Image 2000.

line cord
You must ensure that the number of rings
before the answering machine answers is less
than the number of rings set in the ANS/FAX
ring response on your Image 2000. This is to
ensure that your answer machine always
answers calls first.
With the exception of the BT Response 5, all recent
answering machines should be compatible with
your Image 2000. Whilst your Image 2000 will
work with any type of answering machine, for
optimum performance it is recommended that you
use one which has a digital outgoing message.
