Selecting the Reception Mode
Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
TEL mode:
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also
receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the
fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax
will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call
comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually
dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call,
the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an
automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.
A.M. mode: Select this mode when you are out and want the built-in
answering machine to answer all calls. Voice messages will be recorded, and
fax messages will be received automatically.
