FAX
NOTES:
• If you have set your product to ANS/FAX mode and your answering
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to
your product, your product will automatically go into FAX mode
after 10* rings.
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter’, set
your product to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in TEL mode (manual reception) when the answering
machine is connected to your product, you must switch off the
answering machine, or the outgoing message from the answering
machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
* This switching interval from ANS/FAX to FAX varies by country regulations.
For example, it is 10 rings in UK, and 6 for most of other countries.
Receiving Manually in TEL Mode Using an Extension Phone
If you are using the external telephone connected to the EXT jack
on your product, you can answer calls and start the product to
receive a fax.
1
Press Receive Mode until you see “TEL” on the bottom line.
Then press Enter.
2
When the telephone rings, answer it by picking up the handset
of the external phone.
3
If you hear a fax tone, or if the person on the other end asks
you to receive a fax, press the keys “ 9 ” (star nine star)
on the extension telephone.
If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try
pressing “ 9 ” once again.
“ 9 ” is the remote receive start code preset at the
factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can
change the middle number to whatever you choose. For more
information, see page page 5.44.

When the product starts receiving the document, replace the
handset of the extension telephone.
