LTo answer using the handset of the unit (if
connected) or another telephone (3) connected
to the same telephone line as this unit (4), lift the
handset and talk to the other party.
See “1.1 Supplied accessories”, page 7 and
“1.2 Accessory information”, page 8 if your
unit includes a handset, or if an optional
handset is available.
LThe number of rings is determined by the “Silent
fax recognition ring setting” (feature #436 on
page 60).
LCallers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
B If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.
LSome fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.

6.9 Using the unit with an

answering machine

6.9.1 Setting up the unit and an answering

machine

1Connect the answering machine (1).
LAnswering machine is not supplied.
LRemove the stopper (2) if attached.
2Set the number of rings on the answering machine to

the call first.

machine.
LWe recommend you record a message up to 10
seconds long, and not to pause for more than 4
seconds during the message. Otherwise, both
machines will not function correctly.
4Activate the answering machine.
5Set the unit to the desired receiving mode (page 45).
LIf you set to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring
setting in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4
(feature #210 on page 56).
6Make sure each of the following are unique:
the remote access code of the answering
machine
the fax activation code (feature #434 on page 60)
Note:
LIf the call is a phone call, the answering machine will
record voice messages.
If a fax calling tone is detected, the fax machine will
receive a fax automatically.
