If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls.
Quiet Detect Time
This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers.
Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has been set to 4 seconds at the factory. This gives the best performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust this setting depending on the disconnect time of your answering machine.
Some answering machines may have unusually fast disconnect times (equal to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case, try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds.
If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or
Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by Normal Dialling.
