Using DECTfax with an external
answering machine
You can set up your DECTfax to work with a
telephone answering machine so that you can
automatically receive voice messages and fax
messages.
To connect a telephone answering machine
1 Connect the telephone line cord of your
answering machine into the connector on
the DECTfax telephone line cord.
2 Set your answering machine to auto answer.
3 Set your DECTfax to Fax mode – see
‘Setting the receive mode’ on page 15.
4 Set the number of rings before answer on
DECTfax to 2 more than the answering
machine – see ‘Ring settings’ on page 14. For
example, if your answering machine is set to
answer after 4 rings then the DECTfax
should be set to answer after 6 rings.
With this set up, calls will be answered first by
the answering machine. If the call is a voice call
then the caller can leave a message on the
answering machine. If the call is a fax call the
DECTfax will automatically take control of the
call and receive the fax.
