F/T ring time (Fax/Tel mode

only) 6
When somebody calls your machine, you and
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring
delay setting.
If the call is a fax, then your machine will
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the
machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast
double-ring) for the time you have set in the
F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring
it means that you have a voice caller on the
line.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine,
extension and external telephones will not
ring; however, you can still answer the call on
any telephone. (For more information see
Using remote codes on page 50.)

Fax Detect 6
Turning Fax Detect On allows the machine to
receive fax calls automatically if you lift any
handset on the same line as the machine.
When you see Receiving on the LCD or
when you hear ‘chirps’ through the handset
you are using, just replace the handset and
your machine will receive the fax.
If this feature is set to On, but your machine
does not connect a fax call when you lift the
handset of an extension or external
telephone, press l51 on the external or
extension phone. (SeeOperation from
extension telephones on page 48.)
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
code l51. (See Using remote codes
on page 50.)
• If you use a modem, or send faxes from a
computer, on the same line and your
machine intercepts them, set
Fax Detect to Off.
