Philips Fax Machine Manual page 14

If you need to change the pre-set codes, select MENU 34 and
press OK. Enter a two digit code. The first digit should be the
sign * or #. Confirm with OK. Execute this procedure for
each of the three codes.
Please note that the three Easylink codes must be different.
Otherwise on the display appears:
Connect the answering machine as described in chapter Installa-
tion / Connecting additional devices.
To provide for the optimum performance of an external answer-
ing machine, set this device to ring once or twice. To avoid the
automatic acceptance of calls by the fax switch, you must set
to a value at least two ringing signals higher than
the setting of the external answering machine.
If you switch off the external answering machine, calls are ac-
cepted by the fax switch.
The answering message of your answering machine should
be shorter than 10 secs.
Please avoid music in your answering message.
If your fax machine is unable to recognise older fax machine
models, which do not transmit those signals that are
commonly used in today's technology, you should advise
your callers in your answering message to press * and 5
followed by START to commence the fax reception.
If the automatic fax reception is impossible, press START
to manually begin receiving the fax.
If your answering machine provides an "economy function"
(e.g. a function which changes the number of ringing
signals as soon as a message was recorded), you should
preferably switch this function off.
It is possible that the answering machine not only counts
the messages received, but also the number of fax calls.
Please ensure that the code for starting the fax reception
from other telephones (factory setting * and 5) is not
the same as for remote access to recorded messages. Where
necessary the code for function 34 may be changed (see
sub-heading Easylink).
If your answering machine accepts the call but your fax
machine does not stop ringing, try and install your answer-
ing machine by serial connection, for example by connect-
ing it to the same telephone socket or to the EXT. port of
your fax machine (see chapter Installation / Connection of
additional devices).
If your answering machine cannot accept calls, your fax
machine will automatically start to receive faxes after the
number of ringing signals set in
reached.
If your external answering machine records fax signals, but
your fax machine cannot receive any faxes, check the
connection of your external answering machine. Connect
the external answering machine to the same telephone
socket or to the EXT. port of your fax machine (see chapter
Installation / Connection of additional devices).
