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
tape.
•Advise callers that they should not pause for over 4 seconds while recording their messages. Otherwise,
the facsimile unit may activate the fax function.
•
When your answering machine runs out of recording tape, your facsimile unit may not be able to receive a
document. Rewind the tape and prepare for recording.
•
When you set the answering machine to give only a greeting message, fax reception may not be available.
We recommend to set your answering machine to record messages.

the conversation, press the STOP button on the facsimile unit.

the fax function.
