Receiving with an answering machine
•
If your fax machine has an external answering
machine connected and you have set it to re-
ceive in this mode by pressing the
key (the
display must show «FAX/TAD»), make sure that:
•
the answering machine is switched on.
•
the number of rings before the answering
machine will answer is less than 5.
•
the silence lapse (the time after which the
answering machine hangs up if it does not
detect either a reply message or the connec-
tion tones) set on the answering machine
is longer than that set on the fax
machine (the time set on your fax machine
is 6 seconds; to change it, see “Changing
the silent time” in “For more sophisticated
use”).
•
the message recorded in the answering
machine does not exceed 15 - 20 seconds.
In some countries, in the “FAX/TAD” reception mode
you can also access the service for recognition of
the ring frequency (see “For more sophisticated
use”).
The behaviour of your fax machine depends on the
caller, as shown in the following diagram:
