Setup Receive
5 - 3
Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL mode only)
If you set the Receive Mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to decide how
long the fax machine will signal you with its special
pseudo/double-ring when you have a voice call. (If it’s a fax call, the
fax machine prints the fax.) This pseudo double ringing happens
after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the fax
machine rings and no other phones on the same line will ring with
the special pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still answer the
call on any extension phone (in a separate phone socket) on the
same line as the fax machine. (See Operation from extension
telephones on page 5-6.)

Press Menu/Set, 2, 2.

Press ▲ or ▼ to select how
long the fax machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice
call (20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds) (20, 30, 40 or 55 for New
Zealand).
Press Menu/Set.

Press Stop/Exit.
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement
(FAX/TEL OGM) (FAX-837MC only)
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external
TAD) when someone calls and your machine is set to FAX/TEL
receive mode. Although callers hear your announcement, they
cannot leave a message.
1
Press Menu/Set, 8, 4.
2
Press ▲ or ▼ to select FAX/TEL OGM, and press Menu/Set.
3
Press ▲ or ▼ to select RECORD MSG and press Menu/Set,
then pick up the handset to record a message (up to 20
seconds).
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 fax receive code) and press
the Start key.”
Even if the caller hangs up during the pseudo/double-ringing,
the fax machine will continue to ring for the set time.
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. (See Erasing the
Outgoing Message (OGM) on page 9-3 for directions to erase
the announcement.)
