Fax switch

The built-in fax switch enables you to phone and
fax from the same telephone connection and use
additional devices. The fax switch separates fax
and voice messages. For example, it can receive
fax messages silently, i. e. without ringing to avoid
causing a disturbance.
The operating modes S and M for day and night
operation each allow you to decide on different
modes during the day and at night; how often the
machine should ring prior to receipt of faxes or
before the answering machine is turned on.
You may change-over the operating mode
between S and M of your fax machine automa-
tically using the timer function U.

Timer U

The built-in timer U distinguishes between day
S and night M. With the default values the fax
machine will ring during the day when it receives
fax calls and telephone calls. At night (10:00 p.m.
to 6:00 a.m.), faxes will be received without rin-
ging and telephone calls will be announced with
a quieter ring.
If the U symbol is displayed the timer is activa-
ted. To switch the timer on or off hold down the
U button for two seconds.
You can change the times when the fax machine
should switch between day S and night M:
1 Select function 33 by pressing M, 33 and
OK.
2 Enter the time at which you want your fax
machine to switch automatically to S (e.g.
08 00 for 8:00 a.m.) and confi rm with
OK.
3 Enter the time at which you want your fax ma-
chine to switch automatically to M (e.g. 23
30 for 11:30 p.m.) and confi rm with OK.

Special settings

Silent fax reception
To receive faxes without any ring signals, set the
amount of ring signals in FAX RINGS to 0.
Completely silent operation $
You should use this option only with devices
with integral answering machines. If, for example,
you do not wish to be disturbed by calls or faxes
arriving at night, you may set the number of rin-
ging signals (tam rings and fax rings) to
0. Faxes are then received silently and calls are
immediately answered by the answering machine,
provided you have switched the answering ma-
chine on.
For machines without a built-in answer machine
the fax switch is disabled in this setting, i. e. your
device immediately switches over to fax recep-
tion and will not ring, when calls are received (the
caller hears a whistling tone).
