When you receive a call, if the other party is a fax and you pick up the phone or
the answering machine answers, the product automatically begins receiving the
transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as normal or a
message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the product to
detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax call comes in, and you
pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine connected to the EXT.
port, the call will disconnect when you hang up and the product will not receive the fax.
