Using receive modes 6
Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the ring delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 46.)
Fax only 6
Fax only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel 6
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
Faxes will be automatically received.
Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 46 and Ring Delay on page 46.)
You can provide useful information or advise
callers to hold until their call is answered by
recording a voice message. They will hear
this message when the F/T ring sounds. The
caller will not be able to leave a message.
See Outgoing message (OGM) on page 75.
Manual 6
Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
BT Call Sign feature or an external telephone
answering device (TAD).
To receive a fax in manual mode, press
Speaker Phone or lift the handset of an
external telephone. When you hear fax tones
(short repeating beeps), press Mono Start or
Colour Start. You can also use the Fax
Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
Also see Fax Detect on page 47.

incoming calls, by recognising whether they
are fax or voice calls and dealing with them in

To set up the TAD mode, see page 75.

If TAD Mode is Off, the receive
mode returns to your original
setting. (See TAD-Mode for internal
TAD on page 75.)
