RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS
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”).
IMPORTANT! This machine does not re-generate ringing conditions to any extension
telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the time set on the ring
delay period. After the period has expired, only the fax machine will ring. The fax machine
will ring depending on the F/T ring time you have selected.
The F/T Switch (F/T Mode)
When you share one line for your telephone and fax machine, in the F/T switch mode, the
fax machine can determine whether an incoming call is a fax or a telephone call. (See
diagram below.)
