Setting the Ring Delay

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings before it answers in FAX
ONLY or FAX/TEL mode. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 41. Also
see For Fax/Tel Mode Only, page 41.)

Press Menu, 2, 1, 1.

Press Stop/Exit.
Setting the F/T (Fax/Tel) Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only)
You need to determine how long the machine will notify you with its special F/T pseudo-ring when
you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds (20, 30, 40, or 55 seconds for New Zealand); no other
phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo-ring. However, you can answer the call on any
extension phone (in a separate wall socket) on the same line as the machine. (See Operation from an
External or Extension Telephone, page 41.)
1
Press Menu, 2, 1, 2.
2
Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call,
and then press Set.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will
ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax call, the machine
prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of
time you selected in F/T Ring Time. Lift the external telephone's handset, and then press Hook to
answer.
