INITIAL SETTINGS

Quiet Detect Time is the function that enables the unit to be used along with an
answering machine for both phone messages and faxes. After the answering
machine has answered, any duration of silence longer than a certain threshold
time will prompt the unit to take over the line and prepare to receive a fax. The
Quiet Detect Time can be set from 00 to 10 seconds, following the procedure
below.
Factory setting: 05

Notes:
•
The unit has been set at the factory for a Quiet Detect Time of 5 seconds, which
gives the best performance for most answering machines. However, you may have
to adjust the Quiet Detect Time depending on your answering machine’s disconnect
time, the time before the machine disconnects the line after a period of silence. If
your machine has a short disconnect time, you may have to shorten the Quiet
Detect Time. However, if the unit is interrupting callers in the middle of messages,
you should set a longer Quiet Detect Time.
•
If there is a pause at the end of your answering machine message, make sure that
the Quiet Detect Time is longer than this pause.
•
Setting Quiet Detect Time to 00 turns the function off. However, the unit will not be
able to receive faxes sent using manual dialing (picking up the receiver, dialing the
number, and pressing the FAX START key when the fax tone is heard), unless the
sender follows the procedure described below.
