FINAL PREPARATIONS
CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES
If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the machine through the telephone
jack, labeled "TEL," on the rear of the machine.
●
Connecting an answering machine to the machine 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 machine to "A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.
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 dialing.
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 [START] key (
) after leaving their voice message.
●
You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on
your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine will automatically cut in and
take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote
Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See "SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR
USE WITH A PC MODEM" (p.38) and "USING THE REMOTE RECEPTION FUNCTION" (p.39).
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.)
Note
The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".
