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. |

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.
