Muratec F-98 operating instructions Setting silent mode

Beyond the basics

Setting silent mode

If you and your fax machine share a quiet place, you’ll really appreciate being able to put the machine into silent mode. This setting mutes the ringer, the alarm and the key-touch tone.

•Ringer — This mutes the ringer and a special ring alerts you if you receive a voice call and a call request call.

•Alarm — This mutes the alarm your machine makes when an error has occurred, the “I’m done!” beep your machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a copy, and the beep your machine makes at one-minute intervals to remind you your caller is waiting.

•Key-touch tone — This mutes the tones your machine makes when pressing the button on the control panel.

Note: Let’s say it again — silent mode mutes the ringer as well as the beep and the key-touch tone. So, if you’re using your fax machine as both a fax and phone (with the optional handset), you may not wish to use this feature.

Note: Of course, turning on the silent mode on your fax machine won’t turn off ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.
