6.10 Using the unit with an answering machine

6.10.1 Setting up the unit and an

answering machine

1Connect the answering machine (1).
LAn answering machine is not supplied.
LRemove the stopper (2) if attached.
2Set the number of rings on the answering machine to
4 rings or less.
LThis will allow the answering machine to answer
the call first.
3Record a greeting message on the answering
machine.
LWe recommend you record a message that is
under 10 seconds long, and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message.
Otherwise, neither machine will function
correctly.
4Activate the answering machine.
5Set the unit to the desired receiving mode (page 50).
LIf you set it to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring
count in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4
(feature #210 on page 64).
6Make sure each of the following is unique:
– the remote access code of the answering
machine
– the fax activation code (feature #434 on page 69)
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.
LRegarding the remote access code for the answering
machine, see the operating instructions of the
answering machine.
Receiving a voice message and fax document in one
call
The caller can leave a voice message and send a fax
document during the same call. Inform the caller of the
following procedure beforehand.
1. The caller calls your unit.
LThe answering machine will answer the call.
2. The caller can leave a message after the greeting
message.
3. The caller presses {*}{#}{9} (pre-selected fax
activation code).
LThe unit will activate the fax function.
4. The caller presses the start button to send a
document.
Note:
LTo use this feature, make sure remote fax activation
is turned ON (feature #434 on page 69). The fax
activation code can also be changed.
LIf there is no room left in the memory of your
answering machine, the unit may not be able to
receive documents. See the operating instructions of
the answering machine and erase unnecessary
messages.
6.11 Receive polling (retrieving a fax placed on another fax machine)
