Optional A.M. Connection Settings

If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the
answering machine connection to incoming calls.
Quiet Detect Time
This function causes the fax machine
to take over the line and begin
reception if a certain duration of
silence is detected after the
answering machine answers.
Time selections for the period of
silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet
Detect Time has been set to 6
seconds at the factory. This gives the
best performance with most
answering machines; however, you
may need to adjust this setting
depending on the disconnect time of
your answering machine.
Some answering machines may
have unusually fast disconnect
times (equal to or very slightly less
than 4 seconds), which means that
the answering machine may
disconnect the line before fax
reception can begin. In this case,
try a Quiet Detect Time setting of
about 3 seconds.
If the fax machine is interrupting
callers before they can leave a
message, try a longer Quiet Detect
Time setting. If your outgoing
message includes a period of
silence, make sure that the setting
is longer than that period of
silence, or re-record your outgoing
message to shorten the silence.
Activating the Ansewering Machine Connection
To change the Quiet Detect Time
setting, reset Option Setting 9 as
explained in Chapter 8, Option
Settings.
Note: Quiet Detect Time can be
turned off by entering "00" for the
time. Note, however, that the fax
machine will not be able to receive
faxes sent manually by Normal
Dialling.
Select Auto Receive
When this function is turned on, your
fax will answer the call after 5 rings if
the answering machine for some
reason fails to answer before that
time. This ensures that you will
receive fax messages even if the
answering machine's tape fills up or
the answering machine is not turned
on.
This function has been turned off at
the factory. If you want to turn it on,
reset Option Setting 12 as explained
in Chapter 8, Option Settings.
Note: When this function is turned
on, make sure that the answering
machine is set to answer on 4 rings
or less. If it isn't, the fax will always
answer first, preventing callers from
leaving voice messages.
