To set up the device with voice mail

1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the device.

NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.

2.Turn off the Auto Answer setting.

3.Run a fax test.

You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the device cannot receive faxes. You must initiate the manual fax before voicemail picks up the line.

NOTE: If you have a computer dial-up modem, your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the device. You will not be able to use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing while you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
