Manual Mode

The device will not receive faxes on its own. You can start fax reception manually, by pressing

o. This setting is useful, when you want to receive faxes via a modem connected to a com-

puter.

In the fax mode, the device will ring for as many times as you have set with function 17 (also

see chapter Setting the Number of Rings, page 60). Then the fax reception switches on. You

should select this mode if you primarily receive faxes at your device.

EXT/Answering Machine Mode

You should set the device to this mode if you have additional devices connected to the EXT

socket of your device. If an additionally connected answering machine receives a call, your

device will check to determine whether or not the incoming call is a fax transmission. If the

device recognises a fax signal, it will automatically receive the fax transmission.

Answering Machine

If you do not have an answering machine connected or if a connected answering machine

does not accept the call, the device will take over the call after a predetermined number of

rings and automatically receive any possible fax transmission being sent.

ephones must be set to the tone dialling mode (DTMF/MFV tones) (for this purpose

sions. While the device is checking the call, it continues to ring. You can accept telephone calls

at any time. After a predetermined number of rings, the device will take over the call and au-

tomatically receive a possible silent fax transmission.
