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. See Answer delay, page 51.
Your remote access security code is
the same as your BT Freestyle
3500 PIN code.
If you enter the incorrect PIN code,
you will hear
“Incorrect security
code”
. You have two chances to
enter the correct remote access
security code before your BT
Freestyle 3500 hangs up.
