In the event that you use a DSL modem: Connect the
device to the slot intended for analogue telephones/fax
machines! For additional information, please consult the
operating manual of your DSL system. Ask your telephone
or internet service provider if necessary.
ISDN Connection
ISDN Connection
Your device is an analogue fax device (Group 3). It is not
an ISDN device (Group 4), and therefore it cannot be
operated directly on an ISDN connection. In order to do
this, you need either an analogue adapter or a connection
for analogue terminals. Details for ISDN connections can
be found in the instructions provided with the terminal
adapter or the dial-up router.
Voice Mailbox
You cannot simultaneously use the answering machine
facility of your telephone service provider (= voice-mail
box) and receive faxes on your devices. Get the mail-box
function for your telephone connection deactivated or set
the number of rings for the fax switch to lower than
5
on
your device (also see Chapter Setting the Fax Switch, page
45). When the fax switch accepts the call, the mail-box of
the service provider does not step in. Enquire with your
telephone company.

OK
. The
display shows on which base unit and with which number

Unregistered Cordless Telephones
Additional Cordless Telephones
You can register in all up to five cordless telephones with
your device. Using only original cordless phones as addi-
tional cordless phones ensures optimum use of all func-
tions. You can get original cordless telephones through our
order service or at specialist shops.
Notice
Additional Telephone No Extension
An additional telephone connected to the device
on a telephone socket is not considered an exten-
sion.

Selecting the Dialling Process
Only use pulse dialling if tone dialling is not
yet activated for your telephone line.

In rare cases, the outside line access code may
be a different number or a two-digit number.
For older telephone systems, the outside line
access code can be R (= Flash). Press
R

enter this outside line access code. If the con-
nection to the public telephone network is
not possible, contact your telephone system
supplier.

Unregistered Cordless Telephones
If you acquired a model with several cordless tel-
ephones, only one cordless telephone is regis-
tered with your device in the factory. Insert the
batteries as described above and register the
cordless telephones with your device (also see
Chapter "Telephone Connections and Addi-
tional Devices", page 50).
