Cannot get faxes from information services?

Is your FAXPHONE connected to a rotary dial telephone line?

Press [TONE] to receive faxes from information services that require touch-tone telephone lines for transmission.

Nothing shows on the display?

Is the power plug firmly plugged in?

Check the plug and be sure it is firmly plugged into the socket.

Cannot solve the problem?

Disconnect the power. Wait five seconds and reconnect the power again. Check the other party’s fax and be sure that it is compatible with your FAXPHONE. There are some compatibility problems between certain types of faxes.

Still cannot solve the problem?

Call for service.

SHARING A TELEPHONE LINE

FAXPHONE continues to ring.

If you have only one telephone line, you can set the FAXPHONE to receive both faxes and voice calls. This is called Fax/Tel Mode (see page 17). When you receive a voice call, you must pick up the telephone attached to the FAXPHONE. If you pick up another phone attached to the same line but NOT attached to the unit, the FAXPHONE continues to ring.

If you have only one telephone line, the most efficient way to set up your system is to attach a cordless phone to the FAXPHONE. When the telephone rings, you can pick up the cordless phone anywhere; you don't need to be near the FAXPHONE.

Another alternative is to use a Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service that may be available from your telephone company. See page 21 for information on DRP service.
