F/T Ring Time
(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 Menu, 2, 1, 2.

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 for Australia and some
countries, 20, 30, 40 or 55 seconds for
New Zealand).
Press OK.
c
Press Stop/Exit.
Note
Even if the caller hangs up during the
pseudo/double-ringing, the machine will
continue to ring for the set time.

The machine receives fax calls automatically,
even if you lift the handset of an extension or
external phone. When you see Receiving
on the LCD or when you hear ‘chirps’ through
the handset of an extension phone connected

replace the handset and your machine will do
the rest.

When you hear a fax tone through the
handset, you have to press Mono Start or

phone. (See Operation from extension
telephones on page 52.)
Note
• If this feature is set to On, but your
machine does not connect a fax call when
you lift an extension or external phone
handset, press the fax receive code l 5 1
(l 9 1 for New Zealand). At the machine,
press Mono Start or Colour Start.

same phone line and the machine
intercepts them, set this feature to Fax
