Selecting the Reception Mode

Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
TEL mode: This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You
can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up
the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode: Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line.
The fax will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
TEL/FAX mode: This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice
calls. When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (includ-
ing manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a
voice call, the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it
is an automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.
A.M. mode: Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as de-
scribed in "Connections" in Chapter 1 and you want the answering machine to
answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while
you are out.
