Set your answering machine to
auto answer.
Your answering machine must be
set to answer on a maximum of two
rings. If not, you may not be able to
receive faxes sent by automatic
dialling.
Note: If your answering machine has
a remote retrieval function, make
sure the code used to activate remote
retrieval is different from the code
used to activate fax reception with an
extension telephone (see Chapter 3,
Receiving Documents). If they are
the same, entering the code from an
outside telephone to retrieve
messages will cause the fax machine
to be activated.

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.
If the connection is not good or
there is noise on the line, the
answering machine and/or fax
machine may not respond properly.
The call counter on your answering
machine may indicate that voice
messages were received, when
only fax messages were received.
Note: To prevent the fax from taking
over the line and beginning reception
if you call in from an external phone
or answer on an extension phone,
press any three keys (other than the
code to activate fax reception, "5",
"*", and "*") on the dial pad of the
phone. This can only be performed
from a phone capable of tone dialling.
When you return and turn off
your answering machine, be
sure to change the reception
mode back to TEL/FAX, FAX,
or TEL!
