For the model with internal answering machine
If your fax machine has an answering machine and, by
pressing the RX MODE, you have set it to operate in
this reception mode (the display must show "TAD/
FAX RX"), make sure that:
• the message recorded in OUTGOING MESSAGE
1 is not longer than 20 seconds. See "Recording
Outgoing Message #1" in chapter "The Answer-
ing machine", for example:
"This is the answering machine of ... (name). I am not
available right now. Please leave a message after
the beep or press the start key on your fax ma-
chine if you want to send a fax. Thank you".
For the models without answering machine
If your fax machine has an external answering machine
and, by pressing the RX MODE, you have set it to op-
erate in this reception mode (the display must show
"TAD/FAX RX"), make sure that:
• the answering machine is switched on.
• the answering machine will start working within 5
ringing tones.
• the silence lapse (the time after which the answer-
ing machine hangs up if it does not detect either a
reply message or the connection tones) set on the

on the fax machine (the time set on your fax ma-
chine is 6 seconds; to change it, see "Changing the
silence lapse" chapter "For a more sophisticated
use").
