SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE

Your fax has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

TAD mode: Select this mode when you are out and want the built-in answering machine to answer all calls. Voice messages will be recorded, and fax messages will be received automatically. ("TAD" stands for "Telephone Answering Device".)

TEL mode: Select this mode when you are in and want to receive both voice calls and fax messages on the same line. You must answer all calls, including fax messages, using the fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

FAX mode: Select this mode when you only want to receive fax messages on your line. The fax will answer all calls and receive incoming fax messages automatically.
