Optional Answering Machine Settings

Fax reception on ANS. failure

If the memory for recording incoming messages becomes full while you are out, the answering machine will no longer be able to record messages. The ON ANS. FAILURE setting is used to choose the response of the machine to incoming calls when this happens:

Automatic fax reception NO: The FO-475 will answer after 20 rings, after which it will wait to receive a remote command. Most callers will hang up before it answers; however, when you call the FO-475 from a remote location, you can wait until it answers, listen to your messages, and then erase them (see Remote Operations in this chapter).

Automatic fax reception YES: The reception mode will switch to FAX mode, allowing the FO-475 to continue to receive faxes automatically without broadcasting an OGM on answering. With this setting, you can still use the remote commands to listen to your messages and erase the message memory (see Remote Operations in this chapter).

Automatic fax reception is set to NO at the factory before shipping. If you want to set it to YES, press the panel keys as follows:
