Using Additional Hardware Devices

Using an External Answering Machine

The SX5T can be used with an external answering machine in place of voicemail. If you plan to use an external answering machine, be sure your service provider has not activated voicemail on your account.

Setting Up Data Transfer for a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or Satellite Receiver

The SX5T can be configured to dial out over your phone line so that a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or a satellite receiver can send and receive the data required for its operation. Your DVR or satellite receiver must also be configured to tell the SX5T that it needs to send data. You must insert the prefix

# * 2 # before the phone number that the DVR or satellite receiver dials. Consult

your DVR or satellite receiver manual or provider if you need further assistance with this feature.

Note:

Contact your service provider to confirm the availability of data transfer service on your wireless account.

Using a Fax Machine With Your SX5T

Your SX5T supports sending and receiving faxes with a fax machine. You can connect your fax machine to an existing wall phone (RJ11) jack or into either phone (RJ11) jack of the SX5T. In order to send or receive a fax, the SX5T must be placed in fax mode, as it cannot automatically detect an incoming fax. (This is standard procedure for faxing over wireless networks.) You must disable any “turbo” fax modes or other non-standard transmission modes on your fax machine. Consult your fax machine’s manual for more information.

The SX5T has two fax modes: 1-time fax mode and Always fax mode.
