(Fax/Tel mode only)

If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call,
the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings and no other phones on the
same line will ring with the special
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still
answer the call on any telephone.

Press a or b to choose how long the
machine will ring to alert you that you
have a voice call (20, 30, 40 or
70 seconds).
Press OK.

Note
Even if the caller hangs up during the
pseudo/double-ringing, the machine will
continue to ring for the set time.
