Configuration #	Configuration instructions
1	Set up the device to answer incoming calls automatically.
	To change the Auto Answer setting, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
2	(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to one ring or two rings.
	For information on changing this setting, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
3	Determine how you want the device to answer calls: automatically or manually.
	• If you set up the device to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives
	faxes. Your device will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you
	suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the device answers the call.
	• If you set up the device to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
	incoming fax calls or your device cannot receive faxes.
	To change the Auto Answer setting, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
4	Since your PC modem shares the phone line with your device, you will not be able to use both your PC
(Dial-up modem)	modem and your device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your device for faxing if you are
	using your PC modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
5	If your PC modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.
(Dial-up modem)	Caution: If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your PC modem software, your device will
	not be able to receive faxes.
6	When the phone rings, your device will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the
	Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and
	receive the fax.
7	Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.
(Answering machine)	Change the Rings to Answer setting on your device to six rings.
	When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and
	then play your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones.
	If incoming fax tones are detected, the device will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there
	are no fax tones, the device stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice
	message.
8	DSL lines only: You will need to purchase additional DSL filters for all devices (telephone, fax) that share
	the DSL phone line. For more information about the types of DSL filters you need, contact your Internet
	service provider.
9	Change the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that has been assigned to your fax number by the
(Distinctive ring	telephone company, for example, double rings or triple rings.
service)	For information on changing this setting, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
	NOTE: Your device is factory-set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the correct ring pattern
	assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, your device might answer both voice calls and
	fax calls, or it might not answer at all.
