If your telephone installation has several sock-

Receiving with an external answering device ...
If your fax machine has an answering device and, by
pressing the RX MODE, you have set it to operate in
this reception mode (the display must show “TAD/
FAX RX”), make sure that:
•
the answering device is switched on.
•
the answering device will start working after less
than 10 rings.
Whenever you set your fax for reception with an
external answering device, the fax machine will
automatically be set to answer after 10 rings.
Consequently, if the number or rings of the an-
swering device is equal or to 10, the answering
device will never be able to work.
•
the silence lapse (the time after which the an-
swering device interrupts the connection if it does
not hear either an answering message or the
connection tones) set on the answering device is
longer than the one set on the fax machine (3
seconds; to change it, see "Changing the silence
lapse", chapter "For a more sophisticated
use").
•
message recorded in the answering device does
not exceed 15-20 seconds e.g.:
Leave a message after the beep or press the start
key on your fax machine to transmit a document.
