Receiving in ANS/FAX Mode
l l
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.
l
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.
l
When only fax messages are received, your
answering machine may still indicate a
voice message has been left, even though
none were actually received.
l l
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.
l l
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.
l
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.
