Final Preparations
If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the
adapter.
Connecting Other Devices
• Connecting an answering machine to the unit allows you to receive both voice and fax
messages when you are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message
of your answering machine, and then set the reception mode of the unit to “A.M.”
(Answering Machine mode) when you go out.
Note: If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need
to follow the procedure described below. (Please note that when distinctive
ringing is used, the answering machine must be distinctive ring compatible.
The outgoing message of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers
who want to send a fax to press their FAX START key.
Comments:
1. It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long,
you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialling.
2. Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same
call. Modify your outgoing message to explain that this can be done by pressing their
FAX START key after leaving their voice message.
• You can connect an extension phone in series with the adapter to make and receive
calls. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the unit will
automatically cut in and take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC
modem on the same line with the extension phone, you must turn on the Remote
Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See “Setting Up
the Unit for Use with a PC Modem” and “Using the Remote Reception Function” in
Chapter 2.
Note: The Remote Reception function is initially set to “ON”.
