Setting the F/T (Fax/Tel) Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only)

You need to determine how long the machine will notify you with its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the fax machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds (for 20, 30, 40 or 55 seconds: Only for New Zealand); no other phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall socket) on the same line as the machine. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 39)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 3.

2 Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.

3 Press Stop/Exit.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.

You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time. Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Tel to answer.

Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
