Using an External Answering Machine
For the best operation, the answering machine must be connected to the EXT socket of the device. The number of rings set for the external answering machine should be less than the one set under FAX RINGS by at least two.
Example of the setting: |
|
Number of rings of the external answering machine | ......1 |
FAX RINGS | 3 |
TOTAL RINGS | 5 |
(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, Page 19) |
|
The outgoing message should be shorter than ten seconds. Avoid music in the outgoing message.
If the external answering machine has a “conserving func- tion” (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as soon as new messages have been recorded), switch it off.
If the external answering machine records fax signals, but your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of the external answering machine
