Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 29.)

Fax Only

Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
Faxes will be automatically received.

 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(Also see Ring Delay on page 29 and F/T
Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 29.)

Manual

answering functions unless you are using the
1
BT Call Sign feature.

To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of the external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Start, and then press 2 to receive a fax. You
can also use the Fax Detect feature to receive
faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as
the machine.
