Receiving Calls & Fax Messages(Faxes/Phone Calls)
Overview The machine can treat incoming fax messages and telephone calls in three ways.
�
Auto mode Use this mode if your line is shared by a fax machine and telephone. When a call comes in, the machine will ring a number of times to give you the chance to pick up the handset. If you do not pick up and the call is a fax message, the machine will go into fax mode and start receiving. You can choose the number of times the machine rings before taking the call by altering the Auto Ring time (see page 18). Also use this mode if you have a telephone answering machine connected (see page 18). Fax mode Use this mode if you have a dedicated fax line. The machine assumes all calls are fax messages. It will ring once to alert you to an incoming call and then start receiving. Tel Mode Use this mode if your line is shared by a fax machine and a telephone but you wish to answer all calls yourself and decide whether they are fax messages or telephone calls. You must manually hit the Start key to receive a fax. The machine will ring continuously until you answer the call, so you have to be near the machine at all times.
