Fax Detect
When you use this feature, you dont have to press Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling
beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax
screen or when you hear chirps through the handset of an extension phone connected to another
wall socket, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest (see page 10 fig.2).
Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset
of an extension phone or a phone or TAD connected to the machine.
Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if youve answered it at the machine.
Selecting OFF means youll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Start or by
pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine. See Operation from an External or Extension
