Optional A.M. Mode Settings
If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the
answering machine connection to incoming calls.
Quiet Detect Time
This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception
if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine
answers.
Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect
Time has been set to 4 seconds at the factory. This gives the best
performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust
this setting depending on the disconnect time of your answering machine.
Some answering machines may have unusually fast disconnect times (equal
to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering
machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case,
try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds.
If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a
longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period
of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or
re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence.
Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note,
however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by
Normal Dialling.
To change the setting, follow the steps below.
1 Press once and once.
2 Press 5 times.
