The answer delay setting sets
how many times the phone will
ring before the answer machine
takes the call. You can choose
from 2-10 rings or Time saver.
The default setting is 5 rings.
Time saver
When you ring in to access your
answer machine remotely, if
you have set Time saver as the
answer delay and you have new
messages it will answer after
2 rings. If you don’t have new
messages it will answer after 6
rings. This means you can hang
up knowing that you have no
new messages, saving you the
time and the cost of the call.
For compatibility with BT 1571
(or another voicemail service)
Make sure the answer delay is
set for your answer machine
to answer before the voicemail
service. Therefore, the answer
delay should be less than on
your voicemail service. For BT
1571 do not set the answer
delay to more than 5 rings.
