Receiving Faxes

Using the unit with an answering machine (KX-FP151 only)!

Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine

1 Connect the answering machine.

Telephone line cord (not included)

Remove the stopper and connect the cord.

Answering machine (not included)

2

Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.

 

This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.

3

Record a greeting message on the answering machine.

Example: “This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to

 

answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a

 

message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”

 

We 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.

4

Activate the answering machine.

5

Set the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 38) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 39).

If you set to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring setting in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4 (feature #06 on page 62). Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive faxes if the answering machine is full.

6 Check all or part of the followings are not the same:

the remote access code of the answering machine

the fax activation code (feature #41 on page 66)
