Answering Machine

Paging

Your fax machine can call you whenever a caller leaves a message on your answering machine. This paging feature is very helpful when you are expecting an important message but can’t sit by the phone.

Using paging is simple. You specify a telephone number ---- the page number ----

for the fax to call whenever you receive a message on the answering machine. Then you turn on the pager function. Now, every time the fax’s answering machine stores an incoming message, it will call the pager number. Upon answering, you will hear a beeping; this tells you that your fax is paging you. Then you perform a simple retrieval function and hear your message!

The fax will try to call the pager number after each message is saved on the answering machine. If the unit encounters a busy signal or if it does not receive an answer, it will automatically redial the pager number.

How many times it redials is something you can set (see “Set The Number of Pager Calls,” right column).

Note: The fax’s paging function works only with voice messages stored on its answering machine. For information on Muratec fax models which allow “fax retrieval” from remote fax machines, please contact your authorized Muratec retailer.
