Using Your Fax With Other Devices; Answering Machine; Connection And Preparations; 4-L - Sharp FO-130 Operation Manual

You can connect an answering machine to your FO-130 to receive both voice messages and fax
transmissions on the same line while you are out.
Connection and preparations
CONNECTING THE ANSWERING MACHINE
Plug
the end of the answering machine line into the
jack on the back side of the F080TP adaptor.
l
Important: To operate properly, the
answering machine line must be plugged
into the jack on the back of the F080TP
adaptor. Do not connect it to any other
jacks.
CHANGING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE
The
outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who
want to send a fax manually to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows:
"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right
now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send
a fax. Thank you for calling."
In addition, try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have
difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.
j) Hint:
l
You mayfind that inserting a shortpause before the outgoing message will help improve the reception
offax transmissions sent b_y automatic dialing (when automatic dialing is used, a far tone is sent
immediately by the transmitting machine. and inserting a pause before the message ensures clear
detection of such tones).
