Setting the F/T Ring Time
You need to determine how long the machine will give its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a
voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine
rings for 20, 30, 40, or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line during the special F/T
pseudo-ring.
1
Press Menu/Set, 2, 2.
2
Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice
call, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T mode, because some fax
machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”)
, but this is not common.
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement (F/T MESSAGE)
(Only for FAX-1030e)
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD) when someone calls and
your machine is set to F/T mode. Although callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a
message. See Erasing the Outgoing Message (OGM), page 62 for directions to erase the
announcement.
1
Press Menu/Set, 8, 3. The screen prompts you to choose F/T MESSAGE, TAD MESSAGE
or PAGING MSG..
2
Press or to select F/T MESSAGE, and press Menu/Set.
3
Press or to select RECORD MSG and press Menu/Set, then pick up the handset to
record a message.
4
Replace the handset. Your announcement is played.
5
Press Stop/Exit.
For example, you can leave a message that says:
“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a fax, please wait until you
hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press 5 1 (your three-digit remote activation code) and
press the Start key.”
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues
the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
This machine does not generate ringing conditions to any extension
telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the period
set on ring delay.
It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The F/T mode will work fine
without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status of your machine.
