Basic Operation
Receiving in AUTO mode
1. Press
Rcv.Mode/Contrast
until the display shows ‘AUTO MODE’.
2. When you get a call, the machine answers it.
If a fax is being sent, the machine goes into receiving mode.
If the machine does not detect a fax signal, it will continue ringing to
tell you it is a phone call. You should pick up the handset to answer the
call, or it will switch to automatic receiving mode.
Receiving automatically in ANS/FAX mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the extension
telephone jack on the back of your machine (see page 1.7).
1. Press
Rcv.Mode/Contrast
until the display shows ‘ANS/FAX MODE’.
2. When you get a call, the answering machine answers it. If the caller
leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message normally.
If your machine hears a fax tone on the line, the fax receive mode is
activated.
Notes:
• If you have set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your answering machine is
switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your machine, the fax
machine will automatically go into FAX mode after several rings.
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter’, set the machine
to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in TEL mode (manual reception) when the answering machine is
connected to your machine, you must switch off the answering machine, or the
outgoing message from the answering machine will interrupt your phone
conversation.
