Connecting an Answering Machine

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

TEL FAX

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 dialling.

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

Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see page 46). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

How the connection operates

While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin reception.

Your fax machine listens for a duration of silence because some transmitting machines do not send a fax tone when the fax is sent manually (this means that the person faxing uses the handset to dial and then presses their Start key after listening to your outgoing message). Pressing the Start key in this case causes the line to go silent.
