Setup (KX-FP185/KX-FM189 only)

TAD/FAX mode!

(using the built-in answering device and receiving voice and fax calls automatically)

When the TAD/FAX mode is set, the unit will work as a fax machine and/or answering device. If a fax call is detected, the unit will automatically receive the fax. If a voice call is detected, the answering device will play a greeting message and the caller can leave a voice message.

You can use either the pre-recorded greeting messages (see next page) or your own greeting message (p. 54).

Note:

The incoming message recording time can be changed (feature #10 on page 65).

For voice memory capacity for incoming messages, see page 86.

When the remaining time is low, erase unnecessary messages (p. 57).

While an incoming call is being recorded, you can monitor it through the speaker. If this feature is not required, set to “OFF” (feature #67 on page 70).

Ring count in the TAD/FAX mode

The number of rings before a call is answered can be changed on feature #06 (p. 65). You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.

TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new recorded messages.

RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.

If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set to 2 or more rings.
