The FAX will alert you by beeping if the handset is not hung up properly. Make sure
the handset is seated properly in its cradle. If you do not want the FAX to beep, disable
the
setting (
p. 14-4).

setting
is enabled (
p. 14-7).
You can change the remote receiving ID (
, p. 14-7), or disable

, p. 14-7).
If you have an answering machine connected to your FAX that can carry out remote-
control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the
security code for this function may be the same as the remote receiving ID of your
FAX. If this is the case, make sure you change the FAX’s remote receiving ID to make
it distinct from the answering machine’s security code (
, p. 14-7).
