Using the phone

Secrecy

During a call, you can talk to someone nearby without your caller hearing you.

1.  Press 

. The red secrecy light (on the 

 button) comes on and your 

caller cannot hear you.

2.  Press 

 again to return to your caller.

Message waiting

If your BT Converse phone is connected to a switchboard, the message waiting 
indicator will flash when you receive new voicemail messages. 

BT 1571 or similar network voicemail users can also use this feature, however 
the indicator light will not flash. New voicemail messages will be indicated by a 
stuttered dial tone when you pick up the handset.

Message waiting switch

If your telephone is connected to a switchboard you may need to change the 
message waiting switch setting on the base of the phone. It is pre-set to MW3 
which is for an SX2000 switch. MW1 and MW2 positions are for when the 
telephone is connected to an ISDX switch. If the switch is moved to MW2 and the 
message waiting indicator stays on permanently, use MW1. 

1.  Lift the handset, or press 

 and dial 

 

 

 

 to connect to 

your answering service.

  If in doubt, please refer to your PBX instructions/manager for the correct 

procedure to access this service.
