BT Diverse Helpline – 08457 908 070
Setting up and
personalising your
answering machine
You can operate your BT Diverse 5450
answering machine from:
• The base unit.
• The handset.
• Remotely from any external
Touchtone
TM
telephone.
The factory setting for the answering
machine is ON, so you can use it as
soon as you have charged up your
BT Diverse 5450 handset. Your callers
will be greeted with a pre-recorded
outgoing message
‘Hello, your call
cannot be taken at the moment, so please
leave your message after the tone’.
You will need to set the date and time
(if you have not already done so) so
that you will know when each message
was received. You can set the date and
time manually (see page 15) or if you
have subscribed to your network’s
Caller Display service, the date and
time will be set automatically as soon
as you receive your first call.
Mailboxes
You can set up to 3 individual
mailboxes in the answering machine so
different users can keep their messages
separate. The same outgoing message
is used for all three mailboxes.
For further information please refer
to page 68.
Outgoing messages
The outgoing message is the greeting
a caller first hears when the answering
machine picks up their call. Your
BT Diverse 5450 gives you a choice of
2 outgoing messages, one for ‘Answer
and Record’ mode and one for ‘Answer
Only’ mode.
Answer and Record
The pre-recorded outgoing message
for Answer and Record is ‘Hello, your
call cannot be taken at the moment, so
please leave your message after the tone’.
If you wish, you can record your own
outgoing message. See ‘To record your
own outgoing message’ page 58.
