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.
When you return and turn
off your answering
machine, be sure to change
the reception mode back to
FAX, TEL, or TEL/FAX!
