Receiving in Answering Machine/Fax mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket on
the back of your machine. If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine
stores the message. If your machine detects a fax tone on the line, it
automatically starts to receive the fax.
• 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 the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set the
machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If the machine is in Tel mode, disconnect or switch off the answering
machine with the fax machine. Otherwise, the outgoing message from
the answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.

Receiving faxes with an extension telephone
When you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket, you
can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone,
without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the
keys *9* on the extension phone. The machine receives the fax.
*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last
asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to whatever you
want.
While you are talking over the telephone connected to the EXT socket, copy
and scan features are not available.
