Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine

1 Connect the answering machine.
2 Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.
This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.
3 Record a greeting message on the answering machine.
Example: "This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to
answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a
message, please speak after the beep. Thank you."
We recommend you record a message up to 10 seconds long, and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function
correctly.
4 Activate the answering machine.
5 Set the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 38) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 39).
If you set to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring setting in FAX ONLY mode to more
than 4 (feature #06 on page 62). Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive faxes
if the answering machine is full.
Check all or part of the followings are not the same:
