Call screening at the handset

handset earpiece or handsfree speaker), press
Menu

will show

.

Ring delay
Ring delay sets the number of times
your BT Graphite 2500 will ring
before the answer machine picks
up your call and starts playing the
outgoing message. You can change
the Answer Delay setting to between
2-9 rings or Time Saver. The default
is 5 rings.
For compatibility with BT 1571
or another voicemail service it is
advisable to keep to the default
setting or lower.
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 knowing
you have no new messages, saving
you time and the cost of the call.
