INTRODUCTION
Your Radio Shack AFX-300 Deluxe Automatic Fax/Data Switch lets you use your telephone, an answering machine, a fax machine/fax modem, and a data modem all on the same telephone line, eliminating the need and extra expense of two phone lines. When a call comes in, you can either answer it yourself, let your answering machine answer it, or let the AFX- 300 answer it. If the AFX-300 hears tones from a fax machine/ fax modem, it directs the call to your fax machine/fax modem. If a call comes in from a data modem, the AFX-300 directs the call to your data modem. If the call is a regular voice call, you can carry on a normal conversation, or let the answering ma- chine record the caller’s message as usual.
The AFX-300 also includes several special features that let you customize its operation based on your needs. Using either a remote touch-tone phone or one on the same line as the AFX-300, you can adjust the number of rings before it an- swers, route data modem calls to its fax jack, and more (see the “Special Features” section of this owners manual).
Your AFX-300 is easy to install. It connects to an existing tele- phone jack and requires no special wiring. The AFX-300 works with most single and multi-line non-KSU (key system unit) telephones, and even has built-in features that are de- signed to work with distinctive ringing services provided by most phone companies. The AFX-300 is also compatible with most telephone answering machines, fax machines, and fax or fax/data modems.
