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 START on the device.
Taking Over the Line
If you pick up on an additional telephone and the machine continues to ring or attempts to receive a fax, you can dis- connect the machine from the line. Press ** on the additional telephone.
Changing Code
Only change the codes if it is absolutely necessary. The codes must begin with * or # and must be different.
1Press OK, 54 and OK.
2Enter the new code for starting fax reception.
3Confirm with OK.
4Enter the new code for taking over the line on an addi- tional device.
5Confirm with OK.
Using an External Answering Machine
For the best operation, the answering machine must be connected to the EXT socket of the device. The numbers of rings set for the external answering machine should be less than the one set under FAX RINGS by at least two.
Example of the setting:
Number of Rings of the External Answering Machine ...1
FAX RINGS | 3 |
(also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page 18)
The outgoing message should be shorter than ten seconds. Avoid music in the outgoing message.
If the external answering machine has a “conserving func- tion” (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as soon as new messages have been recorded), deactivate this function.
If the external answering machine records fax signals, but your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of the external answering machine
