2.4.4 How phone calls and faxes
are received
If the number assigned for phone calls is called,
the fax machine and answering machine will ring
and then the answering machine will record
voice message automatically.
If the number assigned for fax is called, all the
phones will ring but only the fax machine will
respond and receive the incoming fax. The fax
machine will answer before the answering
machine will.
If you subscribe to three or more phone
numbers on a single telephone line
Each phone number will be assigned a different
ring pattern by the phone company.
To use one number for fax, program the ring
pattern assigned for fax (feature #32 on page 45)
by referring to the ring pattern table (page 44).
