General problems
Problem Solution
The answering machine
connection does not
operate properly.
• Make sure your fax machine's reception mode is
set to A.M.
• Make sure your fax machine's TEL. LINE socket is
connected to the wall socket. Make sure your fax
machine's TEL. SET socket is connected to your
answering machine's telephone line socket (not the
answering machine's extension phone socket).
• Make sure your answering machine's outgoing
message is under 10 seconds.
• Make sure that the Quiet Detect Time setting is set
to three or four seconds (see page 51).
Problem Solution
Voice calls taken on an
extension phone are
interrupted by the fax.
• The fax may interrupt during a voice call if the
reception mode is set to A.M.. To prevent
interruption on a tone dial extension phone, press
any three keys on the extension phone after
answering. (Note: Do not enter the code to activate
fax reception.)
No reception occurs when
polling is attempted.
• Make sure you have not run out of paper.
• Make sure the transmitting machine is in automatic
reception mode.
• If the transmitting machine has polling security,
make sure that your fax number has been entered
both in your machine and in the transmitting
machine.
