Answering machine
Voice prompts
Your answering machine gives voice
prompts to help you operate it.
Date and time
An announcement of date and time of
recording will be added automatically
to each message and memo.
If you subscribe to your network
provider’s Caller Display service, the
date and time are set automatically
when your BT Paragon 550 receives its
first call, but you will also need to set
the year using a handset, see page 39.
You can operate your BT Paragon 550 answering machine via:
•
the menu
•
the buttons on the base station
•
remotely from any external Touchtone™ telephone.
The default setting for the answering machine is On.
Until you change your outgoing message, your callers will be
greeted with the pre-recorded message ‘Hello, your call
cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message
after the tone’.
