With this feature turned ON, the CS8500-t will monitor the line for 30 seconds after the answering
machine answers a call. If the answering machine disconnects during this time, the call will automatically
transfer to the FAX. To accommodate these timing parameters, your outgoing message should be no less
than 15 seconds, and no longer than 20 seconds in length. (Single cassette answering machines are not
recommended for use with this feature due to timing limitations of these types of machines.)
To disable the CS8500-t and retrieve your answering machine messages, follow these steps:
1. Dial your phone number and when your answering machine answers, press
tone phone. Follow the remote retrieval procedures for your answering machine.
2. After retrieving your messages, hang up. The CS8500-t resets for the next call.
