Setting up the answering machine
1. Set the desired number of rings (1 to 4) on the telephone answering machine.
2. Record a greeting message referring to the example below.
“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to answer the phone right now.
Please leave a message after the long beep. To send a fax, dial my remote fax activation code and start
transmission. Thank you.”
—Do not pause for more than 4 seconds in the message.
—Your message can be 8 to 16 seconds long. We recommend you to keep it around 10 seconds in length.
—Inform the fax caller of your remote fax activation code beforehand (see page 42).
3. If your answering machine is equipped with a remote operation feature, you must set the same access
code (remote TAM activation ID) as stored on the answering machine in the unit’s memory. See below.
Setting the remote TAM activation ID
Set the same ID code on the facsimile unit as programmed on your answering machine.
Important:
This code should be different from the remote fax activation code (see page 42) and the junk mail prohibitor
ID (see page 43).
