Activating the Answering Machine Hookup
How the hookup 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.
When you return and turn off your answering machine, be sure to change the reception mode back to FAX or TEL!
