How answering machine
mode operates
While you are out, all of your
incoming calls will be answered by
the 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.
When you return and turn off
your answering machine, be
sure to change the reception
mode back to FAX, TEL, or
TEL/FAX!
