The MultiPASS does not switch automatically between telephone and fax reception.
The MultiPASS may not be set to switch automatically between telephone and
fax reception.
❑For the MultiPASS to switch automatically, the receive mode must be set to
Fax/Tel Mode or ANS.MACHINE MODE. If you have set ANS.MACHINE
MODE, confirm that an answering machine is connected to the MultiPASS
and that it is turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded.
An error may have occurred during reception.
❑Check the LCD display for an error message (see page 7-6).

the fax manually.
