If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the
answering machine connection to incoming calls.
This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a
certain duration of silence is detected afier the answering machine answers,
Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has
been set to 4 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 thev can leave a message, try a
longer Quiet Detect Time settin~, 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.
To change the Quiet Detect Time setting, reset Option Setting 11 as described in
Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, how-
ever, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by
Normal Dialling.
