swer.
. Your answering machine must be set
to answer on a maximum of 4 rings. If
not, you may not be able to receive
faxes sent by automatic dialiing.
If your answering machine has a toll
saver function, make sure that it will
answer by the fourth ring.
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 "Receiving
Documents" in Chapter 3). If they are the same, entering the code from an
outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be
activated.
How the 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, During this time, your fax will quietly
monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax transmission, 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,
Note: When Option Setting 10 (A.M. CONNECTED) is set to YES and the
reception mode is set to FAX, the fax may interrupt voice calls made or
received on an extension phone. If you want to use the answering machine
hook-up while you are in to monitor incoming calls, you can prevent fax
interruption of calls on a touch-tone extension phone by pressing any 3 keys
on the phone other than the code to activate fax reception ("5", "X", and
"* ").
