Taking Over the Line

If you pick up on an additional telephone and the device continues to ring or attempts to receive a fax, you can disconnect the device from the line. Press on the addi-

EN tional telephone.

Using an External Answering Machine

Your external answering machine must have parallel recognition for accepting incoming calls. Consult your retailer.

For the best operation, the answering machine must be connected to the AUX./Òsocket of the device. Select EXT/ answering machine mode as the fax reception mode (see also chapter on Setting the Fax Reception Mode, Page 59).

Notice

Length of Outgoing Message

The outgoing message must be shorter than ten seconds. Avoid music in your announce- ment. If the external answering machine has a “conserving function” (i.e. a function that changes the number of rings as soon as new messages have been recorded), switch it off.

Notice

Answering Machine Records Fax Signals

If the external answering machine records fax signals, but your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the connection of the external answering machine
