SWITCHING FAX CALLS MANUALLY

Using either a touch-tone or rotary (pulse) phone, you can manually set the AFX-300 to accept a transmission from a fax machine that does not sound a normal fax alert tone.

Note: The following procedures apply only to incoming faxes.

Using a Touch-Tone Phone

During your conversation or when the answering machine an- swers a call, either you or the caller must press 1, #, then 1 on a touch-tone key pad to activate your fax machine/fax modem. After the code is entered, the sender of the fax must press his/ her fax machine’s SEND button, then both parties must hang up their handsets.

Notes:

If either party presses a wrong key, wait about 10 sec- onds before trying again.

You can use your phone’s and # keys for other func- tions, such as computer banking, but the AFX-300 acti- vates your fax machine/fax modem only when you press 1, #, and 1 in that order.
