Stand-alone Fax
Receiving Automatically in ANS/FAX Mode
For this mode, you MUST attach an answering machine to the EXT. jack
on the back of your machine (see page A.2).
1. Press and hold down Rcv. Mode/Contrast on the front panel
repeatedly until the display shows ‘ANS/FAX MODE.’
2. When you receive a call, the answering machine will answer.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the
message as it would normally. If your machine hears a fax tone on
the line, it automatically starts to receive fax.
Notes:
• If you have set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is
connected to your machine, your machine will automatically go
into FAX mode after 6 rings.
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter’,
set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in TEL mode (manual reception) when the answering
machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the
answering machine, or the outgoing message from the answering
machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
Receiving in AUTO Mode
1. Press and hold down Rcv.Mode/Contrast on the front panel
repeatedly until the display shows ‘AUTO MODE’.
2. When you get a call, the machine answers it.
If a fax is being sent, the machine goes into reception mode.
If the machine does not detect a fax signal, it will continue ringing to
tell you it is a phone call. You should pick up the handset to answer
the call, or it will switch to automatic reception mode.
