Notice when using with an answering machine
Every time the facsimile unit receives a document, a silent pause or a fax tone may be recorded on the
answering machine.
Advise callers that they should not pause for over 4 seconds while recording their voice messages.
Otherwise, the unit may switch to the fax mode.
When your answering machine runs out of recording tape, the unit may not be able to receive a document.
Rewind the tape to record messages.
When you set the answering machine to give only a greeting message, fax reception may not be available.
If you answer a call with the answering machine and pause for over 4 seconds, the unit may switch to the
fax mode and you may not be able to talk with the other party. To resume the conversation, press
on the facsimile unit.
When the answering machine does not answer a call after 5 rings, the fax function will be activated.
Set the receive mode of the facsimile unit to the TEL mode under the following conditions:
—when you wish to set the number of rings on the answering machine to more than 5, or
—when you wish to use the auto transfer functions (transfer, pager alert, etc.) on the answering machine.
Note that automatic fax sending can not be received automatically in the TEL mode.
