Receiving fax documents and/or recording incoming voice messages automatically (ANS/FAX mode)

When the receive mode is set to ANS/FAX, the unit will work as a facsimile machine and/or answering device. If a fax call is detected, the unit will automatically switch to the fax and receive fax documents.

If a voice call is detected, the answering system will begin recording, then the caller can leave a voice message.

Setting the voice message and document reception

1.Record a common greeting message (see page 17).

2.Set the unit to the ANS/FAX mode by pressing (RECEIVE\MODE). ¡The display will show the remaining time for about 2 seconds.

TIME LEFT=12MIN

Note:

¡The total recording time (including greeting messages) is about 15 minutes. If messages are recorded in noisy rooms, the time may be less than 15 minutes.

¡The recording time for each incoming message can be set to either “unlimited” (preset setting) or “1 minute.” To change the setting, see page 26.

¡When the remaining time is low, erase unnecessary messages from memory (see page 28).

¡When the remaining time becomes less than 60 seconds, the unit will alert the user with a slow beep if a recording time alert feature is set to ON (see page 26).

Setting the ANS/FAX mode ring count

This feature determines the number of rings after which the unit answers a call in the ANS/FAX mode. You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.

TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the first ring, there is at least one new recorded message. The second ring indicates that there are no new messages. Hang up immediately when you hear the second ring. This will save you the toll charge for the call.

RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.

Helpful hints:

¡To be able to answer a call before the unit does, increase the number of rings.

¡If you find difficulty in receiving faxes from machines that have an automatic transmission feature, decrease the number of rings.
