This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.

Record a greeting message on the answering machine.
Example: “This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to
answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a
message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”
●
We recommend you record your message around 10 seconds long and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function
correctly.

If you set to FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode to
“5 EXT.TAM” (feature #06 on page 53). Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive
faxes if the answering machine is full.
