Time saver
The time saver feature is useful if you are out and want to ring in and
check if you have received any new messages.
If your answering machine is set to time saver you can check whether
you have new messages or not before your answering machine actually
answers your call. If you have new messages your answering machine
will answer after 2 rings, if you do not have any new messages, it will
not answer until 6 rings. This enables you to hang up before you are
connected, saving you time and the cost of a call.
Operating the answering machine
When you have accessed your answering machine, you can operate it
using the keypad numbers on the phone you are using.
