Using The Unit With An Answering Machine - Panasonic KX-MB263HX Operating Instructions Manual

7. Fax (KX-MB773/KX-MB783 only)
L The number of rings is determined by the "Silent
fax recognition ring setting" (feature #436 on
page 61).
L Callers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
L When you answer the call using an extension
telephone connected to the [EXT] jack, press
{STOP} on the unit to talk to the calling party.
B If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.
L Some fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
