2.4.4How phone calls and faxes are received
If the number assigned for phone calls is called, the fax machine and answering machine will ring and then the answering machine will record voice message automatically.
If the number assigned for fax is called, all the phones will ring but only the fax machine will respond and receive the incoming fax. The fax machine will answer before the answering machine will.
If you subscribe to three or more phone numbers on a single telephone line
Each phone number will be assigned a different ring pattern by the phone company.
To use one number for fax, program the ring pattern assigned for fax (feature #32 on page 45) by referring to the ring pattern table (page 44).
