11. Data and Fax Calls
The phone can send or receive data when it is connected to a compatible data terminal (such as a fax machine or PC) through a data adapter. See the documentation for the data adapter and terminal.
Only analog data can be sent and received.
The phone recognizes the type of the connected terminal automatically. For instance, if a fax machine is connected to the phone, the phone makes a fax call.
Note: Pressing and holding 9 to initiate an emergency call does not work when the phone is connected to a modem.
To start an outgoing data or fax call
➊Check that the data terminal is properly installed. A data or fax transmission is always started from the data terminal.
➋Start the transmission from the data terminal in the normal way. For example, to send a telefax, start the transmission from the fax machines keypad. The phone calls the number you dialed from the terminal’s keypad.
➌After the transmission, end the call from the data terminal, or press E.
