If you have purchased the fax model equipped with an
internal answering machine, you can use it to perform
the functions of external answering machines. Thus you
can:
•
record outgoing messages to be played auto-
matically when you are absent, to ask callers to
leave a message or call back
•
record memoranda (also known as MEMOs)
•
listen to outgoing messages and memos
•
replace outgoing messages and memos
•
record the messages that callers leave when you
are absent, to avoid missing important calls.
The recording capacity of the answering machine de-
pends on available memory and never exceeds 50 mes-
sages (including memos) handled by the answering ma-
chine as incoming messages. Their duration is program-
mable and it set to 30 or 60 seconds (see “Program-
ming memo and incoming message duration").
•
listen to recorded messages
•
delete recorded messages
•
transfer messages on a remote phone set
•
control the answering machine remotely.
Remember that, in the TAD/FAX RX receive mode, the
fax machine automatically goes into the receive mode
when another fax machine calls it, thus avoiding the loss
of documents addressed to you.
However, to prevent an unauthorised subscriber from
operating remotely on your answering machine (apart
from leaving messages), the access has been protected
with a four digit numeric code (already preset as "1234").
It can be changed or deleted at any time. See "Changing
or deleting the answering machine access code".
