|
| a fax signal, it will give another ringing tone to tell you it is a |
| |
|
| phone call. You should lift the handset to answer the call. If |
| |
|
| you do not pick up the handset on your fax machine, it will |
| |

| line socket on your fax machine. When the phone rings, the |

|
| attached answering machine answers and stores the caller’s | page 3.5. | |
|
| message if they leave one. If your machine senses a fax tone |
| |
|
| on the line, the call automatically switches over to fax |

If you rarely use the fax line for voice conversation, set the machine to receive faxes automatically by selecting
either FAX or AUTO Mode.
