F080TPadaptor.
Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax 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."
TQ' to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too
long, YOU ma>' ha~'e
dificul~' receiving fwes sent b>' a utomatic dialing.
Yourcallers can even leave a voice message andsendafax message on the same call. Modifi'
your outgoing message to explain that the} canfirst leave a \'oicemessage, and then press
their Start kc>' t o send afax.
You ma>'findthat inserting a short pau~'ebefore the outgoing message will help impro~'e
the reception offax transmissions sent by automatic dialing (}~henautomatic dialing is used,
afu tone is sent immediate> by the transmitting machine, and inserting a pause before the
message ensures clear detection of such tones).
Other considerations
s
Your answering machine must be set to answer on 1 to 4 rings (preferably 1 or2).
If it is set to ring on more than 4 rings, you may not be able to receive faxes sent
by automatic dialing.
If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code
used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax
reception with an extension telephone (see "Extension telephone" which follows
in this chapter), if they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone
to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.
