• If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering
machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined number
of 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 when the answering machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the
answering machine. otherwise, the outgoing message from the answering machine will interrupt your phone
conversation.
Receiving faxes manually using an extension telephone
This feature works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket on the back of your

machine receives the fax.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax ton
e from the remote machine, try pressing *9* once again.
*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The fir
st and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the
middle number to whatever you wish. For details about changing the code, see "Changing the fax setup options" on
