How phone calls and faxes are received
1. "INCOMING CALL" will be displayed but the unit will
not ring.
2. The unit will wait for the duration of 2 rings before
answering the call.
L The number of rings is determined by the
"TEL/FAX delayed ring count" (feature #78 on
page 44).
L During this time, an extension telephone (if
connected to the same line) will ring.
3. The unit will answer the call and try to detect a fax
calling tone.
When a fax calling tone is detected
The unit receives the fax automatically without
ringing.
When a fax calling tone is not detected
A The unit will ring. You may answer the call.
L Callers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
L An extension telephone (if connected to the same
line) will not ring at this time. To answer the call
with the extension telephone, lift the handset and
press {*}{0} (default auto disconnection code)
while the fax machine is ringing.
B If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.
L Some fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
Note:
L The auto disconnection code can be changed in
feature #49 on page 43.
L Even when you answer a call with the extension
telephone and press the auto disconnection code,
the fax machine may activate the fax function
depending on the type of an extension telephone.

calling party.
