FINAL PREPARATIONS

CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES

If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the machine through the telephone jack, labeled "TEL," on the rear of the machine.

●Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive both voice and fax messages when you are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the reception mode of the machine to "A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.

If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need to follow the procedure described Note below. (Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answering machine must be distinctive ring

compatible.)

Comments:

1.It is advisable 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.

2.Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing message to explain that this can be done by pressing their [START] key () after leaving their voice message.

●You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine will automatically cut in and take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See "SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR USE WITH A PC MODEM" (p.38) and "USING THE REMOTE RECEPTION FUNCTION" (p.39).

Note The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".
