Using an External Answering Machine

For the best operation, the answering machine must be
connected to the EXT socket of the device. The numbers
of rings set for the external answering machine should be
less than the one set under FAX RINGS by at least two.
Example of the setting:
Number of Rings of the External Answering Machine ...1
FAX RINGS .............................................................. 3
(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 24)
External Answering Machine
The outgoing message should be shorter than ten
seconds. Avoid music in the outgoing message.
If the external answering machine has a "conserving func-
tion" (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as
soon as new messages have been recorded), deactivate this
function.
If the external answering machine records fax signals, but
your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of
the external answering machine
