Using the Machine with an Answering Machine
Quiet Detect Time
Quiet Detect Time is the function that enables the machine to be used along with an answering
machine for both phone messages and faxes. After the answering machine has answered, any
duration of silence longer than a certain threshold time will prompt the machine to take over the
line and prepare to receive a fax. The Quiet Detect Time can be set from 00 to 10 seconds,
following the procedure below.

Notes:
•
The machine has been set at the factory for a Quiet Detect Time of 5 seconds, which gives
the best performance for most answering machines. However, you may have to adjust the
Quiet Detect Time depending on your answering machine’s disconnect time (the time before
the machine disconnects the line after a period of silence). If your machine has a short
disconnect time, you may have to shorten the Quiet Detect Time. However, if the machine is
interrupting callers in the middle of messages, you should set a longer Quiet Detect Time.
•
If there is a pause at the end of your answering machine message, make sure that the Quiet
Detect Time is longer than this pause.
•
Setting Quiet Detect Time to 00 turns the function off. However, the machine will not be able
to receive faxes sent using manual dialing unless the sender follows the next procedure,
If
Quiet Detect Time is not working properly…
