When

a

call is received from a

m a n u a l

f a x

m a c h i n e , your unit

answers the call after several rings which you can set through the User Options, and sounds a fax tone to the caller. The caller hears the tone, and should know to press the START key on their machine. Then your unit receives the fax.

When a call is received from an a u t o m a t i c f a x m a c h i n e , your unit automatically detects the sending fax machine and receives the fax automatically.

If you pick up the handset before your unit answers, the unit switches back to TEL mode.

Even when a fax tone is on the line, the unit might fail to detect it and doesn’t receive the fax because of the line instability.

Receiving in ANS/FAX Mode

To use ANS/FAX receiving mode, you have to install an answering machine (see page 10). This mode is not applicable for the standard phone Installed in EXT.TEL jack.

1.To select the ANS/FAX mode, press [RECEIVE MODE] repeatedly until the indicator flickers and the window displays as shown below.

2.When a call is received, the answering machine answers and plays the recorded outgoing message.

If a fax tone or a certain time period of silence is detected on the line by your fax machine -the call automatically switches over to the fax machine and reception begins, overriding the answering machine’s announcement.

If someone wants to speak with you-your fax machine ignores the call. The caller can leave a message on the answering machine.

If you have troubles receiving faxes in the ANS/FAX mode, change the silence detection time mode as described on Page

37.This feature in the user options will ensure fax reception when a fax tone is not detected on the line by your fax machine.

When only fax messages are received, your answering machine may still indicate a voice message has been left, even though none were actually received.

If the sound level of the incoming caller is too low due to a poor telephone connection, the fax machine and/or answering machine may not function properly.

If the answering machine does not answer within 6 rings for such reasons that recording message is full on the tape or the answering machine is switched off, your fax unit automatically switches to the TEL/FAX mode and takes the call according to the steps described in “Receiving in TEL/FAX mode.” If the answering machine is featured with a user- selectable ring counter, set the machine to answer an incoming call within 4 rings.

When you are using the TEL mode on your unit and an answering machine is installed, you must make sure you switch off the answering machine, otherwise the OGM from the answering machine will disrupt your telephone conversation.
