RECEPTION MODE
Select AUTO mode when you only want to receive faxes on your telephone line. The
unit will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
Using AUTO Mode
Using MANUAL Mode
MANUAL is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls if you have an
extension phone. To have true manual mode, the unit must be set to not answer while
in MANUAL mode (see “Setting the Number of Rings for Manual Reception” in Chapter
2). You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up
the receiver on the extension phone.
Using A.M. Mode
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the unit and you want
the answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice
messages and faxes when you are out.
