Connecting an Answering Machine
♦ If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that
it will answer by the fourth ring.
Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make
sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code
used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see Chapter
3, Receiving Documents). If they are the same, entering the code from an
outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be
activated.
How answering machine mode operates
While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by
your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice
callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly
monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence
greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin
reception.
♦ If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the
answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.
♦ The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that
voice messages were received, when only fax messages were
received.
♦ To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning recep-
tion if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension
phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax
reception, "5", "*", and "*") on the dial pad of the phone. This can
only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling.
When you return and turn
off your answering
machine, be sure to change
the reception mode back to
TEL/FAX, FAX, or TEL!
