the bottom line. You may have to repeat this action once or
twice, depending on the mode you’re in.

N OTES :
• When you have set your machine to Ans/Fax mode and your
answering machine is switched off or no answering machine is
connected to the EXT jack, your machine automatically goes into
Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
• If your answering machine has a “user-selectable ring counter,”
set it to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in Tel mode, which is receiving faxes manually, when
the answering machine is connected to your machine, you must
switch off the answering machine, or the outgoing message from
the answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
