Pick up the handset and talk normally. If you hear a slow beep, it means the call is from a fax
machine trying to send a fax. Press [Black] or [Color] to receive the fax. If you do not pick up
the handset, the machine continues to ring until the other party hangs up. If an answering
machine is connected, it takes over the call.

Telecom FaxAbility service (New Zealand only)
In New Zealand, Telecom N.Z. offers the FaxAbility capability. This service allows you to assign
two numbers to your line: one for fax and one for telephone. When the fax number is called, the
network sends a specific ring tone which your machine recognizes and automatically handles as a
fax call. If the telephone number is called, a different ring tone is sent out from the network so that
the call is handled as a voice call. This means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.
Contact Telecom for connection information.
Network Switch System Operation

over a normal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the machine will respond slightly
