Now your fax machine receives faxes silently but also alerts you when a regular voice call comes in. (Your fax machine also beeps once at the end of each reception.)
If a voice call comes in, your fax machine detects it and sounds a special ring. If you hear it, answer using your optional handset.
Note: This Fax/Tel Ready mode won’t turn off ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Other phones won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.
