You can set the FAXPHONE to monitor all incoming calls over the fax/telephone line. When the FAXPHONE receives an incoming call, it checks to see if the call is from another fax machine trying to send a document or from someone wanting to talk to you. You need to have an extension phone connected to your FAXPHONE for this mode. See p. 13.

09/15/97 Fax/Tel

When the FAXPHONE receives a call, it checks to see whether the call is from another fax machine or from a telephone.

If the INCOMING RING function is set to OFF, the FAXPHONE does not ring (even if an extension phone is connected) when it receives a call from another fax machine that is trying to send a document. This is so that you are not disturbed when your FAXPHONE is communicating with another fax machine. The FAXPHONE automatically receives the document.

In Fax Only Mode or Fax/Tel Mode, if you want the extension phone to ring to make sure that someone is sending you a document, you need to set INCOMING RING to ON and connect an extension phone.

If the call is from a person, the FAXPHONE rings to alert you to pick up the exten- sion phone.

If you do not pick up the handset of the extension phone within 15 seconds, the FAXPHONE stops ringing. It checks again to make sure the call is not from a fax

machine and then hangs up.
