Prerequisites for outgoing message
Answering machine records fax signals
If you have multiple telephone sockets for the same
telephone line, the machine must be connected to
the first telephone socket.
Change the code only if it is absolutely necessary.
The code must begin with
*
or
#
.
You can switch this function off, if in step 8 you se-
lect
NO , confirm using
o
and exit using

.
Make sure that a lower ring tone is set on the external
answering machine than on the device (setting
RINGS NUMBER ). Otherwise the answering ma-
chine automatically picks up each call including fax-
es.
The outgoing message must be shorter than ten sec-
onds. Avoid music in your announcement. If the ex-
ternal answering machine has a “conserving func-
tion” (i.e. a function that changes the number of
rings as soon as new messages have been recorded),
switch it off.
If the external answering machine records fax signals,
but your device cannot receive faxes, inspect the con-
nection of the external answering machine
