L
To answer using the handset of the unit (if
connected) or another telephone (
3
) connected
to the same telephone line as this unit (
4
), lift the
handset and talk to the other party.
– See “1.1 Supplied accessories”, page 10 and
“1.2 Accessory information”, page 11 if your
unit includes a handset, or if an optional
handset is available.
L
The number of rings is determined by the “Silent
fax recognition ring setting” (feature #436 on
page 64).
L
Callers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
B
If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.
L
Some fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
