Tel Mode
In this mode, you must be at the machine. You can receive a fax call by pressing the On Hook Dial
button to open the fax line; you will hear a dial tone. Press Start when you hear a fax tone from the
remote machine. The machine begins receiving a fax. If a handset is available you can answer calls
using the handset.
Ans/Fax Mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket on the back of your
machine. If your machine detects a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax. If
your answering machine detects a person leaving a message, it saves the message.
Notes:
• If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering machine is switched off,
or no answering machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes
into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
• If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set the machine to answer
incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in Tel mode when the answering machine is connected to your machine, you
must switch off the answering machine. otherwise, the outgoing message from the
answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
Distinctive Ring Mode
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is
identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing
sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different
clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature, your fax machine can learn the ring
pattern you designate to be answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern
will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket. You can
easily suspend or change DRPD at any time by disabling the DRPD fax receive mode.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the
telephone company. To set up DRPD, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone
available to dial your fax number from outside.
For information about setting up DRPD, refer to Setting Up DRPD .
