ANSWERING CALLS IN PERSON
You can answer a call in person by simply picking up any
phone on the line (including one connected to the
PHONE
jack
on your TAD) before the TAD or AFX-300 answers the call.
Note
: Because the AFX-300 automatically disables your fax
machine when a call is received, you cannot use its built-in
telephone (if any) to answer a call in person.
If you answer a call and the call is a voice call
, talk as usu-
al.
Note
: If you connected a TAD
and
a data modem to the AFX-
300, and you answered the call on a phone connected to the
TAD, you must press any touch-tone digit on the phone before
you begin the conversation. If you do not, the AFX-300 auto-
matically transfers the call to your data modem after 20 sec-
onds.
If you answer the call and hear fax alert tones
, simply hang
up the phone. The AFX-300 directs the call to your fax ma-
chine/fax modem, regardless of whether or not you hang up.
If you answer the call and hear only silence
, the call is prob-
ably from another data modem (a calling modem is silent until
prompted by your modem). To transfer the call to a connected
data modem, press 1, #, 2, listen for the modem’s signals,
then hang up the phone.
