Basic receiving operations
Choosing the Receive Mode
There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs. (See TAD mode on
page 7-1 to set up the TAD:Msg Mgr mode.)
Setup Receive
LCD How it works When to use it
Fax Only
(automatic receive)
The machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
Fax/Tel
(fax and telephone)
The machine controls the
line and automatically
answers every call. If the
call is a fax it will receive
the fax. If the call is not a
fax it will ring
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate socket/phone socket on the
same line. You cannot use the telephone
company’s Voice Mail in this mode.
Manual
(manual receive)
(with BT Call Sign)
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
Use this mode if you do not receive many fax
messages, have an external TAD connected to the
machine, use BT Call Sign, or if you are using a
computer modem on the same phone line.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
machine takes over the call, then hang up.
(See Fax Detect on page 4-6.)
TAD:Msg Mgr The built-in digital TAD
answers voice calls and
automatically receives
faxes.
Use this mode to record voice messages in the
machine’s memory. (For details, see TAD mode on
page 7-1.)
