Receiving in Answering Machine/Fax mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT
socket on the back of your machine. If the caller leaves a message,
the answering machine stores the message. If your machine detects
a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.
• If you have set your machine to this mode and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering
machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine
automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined
number of rings.
• If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring
counter, set the machine to answer incoming calls within
1 ring.
• If the machine is in Tel mode, disconnect or switch off the
answering machine with the fax machine. Otherwise, the
outgoing message from the answering machine will
interrupt your phone conversation.

Receiving faxes with an extension telephone
When you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT
socket, you can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the
extension telephone, without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones,
press the keys *9* on the extension phone. The machine receives the
fax.
*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the
last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to
whatever you want.
While you are talking over the telephone connected to the
EXT socket, copy and scan features are not available.
