Connecting Additional Devices
You can operate additional devices on a telephone line, such as cordless telephones, answering machines, modems or charge counters.
If you are using a cordless telephone with SMS func- tion on the same line, then the specific device at which you will receive an SMS message will depend on the specific manufacturer. Only one of the devices will receive the SMS message. Try to turn off the SMS reception on your cordless telephone.
Setting Up an Extension

Connection to the Device
You can connect additional devices directly to your device. Insert the telephone cable of the additional device into the EXT- socket
We recommend direct connection to the device be- cause this allows the fax switch to function optimally and to control the additional devices.
Connection to the Telephone Line
In order for the fax switch to function, the machine must be first in the series if multiple devices are connected to the same telephone socket. Follow the correct order.
If you have multiple telephone sockets for the same telephone line, the machine must be connected to the first telephone socket.
Using Additional Telephones (Ea- sylink)
With the Easylink function you can control your device with additional telephones. To use this function, addition- al telephones must be set to the tone dialling mode (DT- MF/MFV tones) (for this purpose see the operating man- ual of your additional telephone).
Starting Fax Reception
If you pick up at an additional device and hear that you are receiving a fax (whistling tone or silence), you can start the fax reception by pressing *5 on the additional tele- phone or pressing o on the device.
