Setting the F/T (Fax/Tel) Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only)
You need to determine how long the machine will notify you with its special F/T pseudo-ring when
you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special
F/T pseudo-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall
socket) on the same line as the machine. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone,
page 37.)
1
Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 3.
2
Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice
call, and then press Menu/Set.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will
ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax call, the machine
prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of
time you selected in F/T Ring Time. Lift the external telephone's handset, and then press Tel/R to
answer.
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues
the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
