Connecting an Answering Machine

Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows:

"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."

Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.

If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic dialing is used.

Activating the answering machine connection

Before you go out, activate the answering machine connection as follows:

1 Set the reception mode to A.M.

RECEPTION

MODE

TEL FAX

A.M.

2 Set your answering machine to auto answer.

Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialing.

If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will answer by the fourth ring.
