I'm assuming you have snipped the priorities 1 and 2.

exten => s,3,BackGround(welcome)
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,15
exten => t,1,Goto(1,1)

Description
ResponseTimeout(seconds)

Set the maximum amount of time permitted after falling through a series 
of priorities for a channel in which the user may begin typing an 
extension. If the user does not type an extension in this amount of 
time, control will pass to the 't' extension if it exists, and if not, 
the call would be terminated.

If ResponseTimeout is not explicitly set in an extension, the default 
value of 15 seconds will be used.
