Using receive modes 6
Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the ring delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 34.)
Fax only 6
Fax only mode will automatically answer
every call. If the call is a fax your machine will
receive it.
Fax/Tel 6
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 34 and Ring Delay on page 34.)
Manual 6
Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
BT Call sign feature.
To receive a fax in manual mode lift the
handset of an external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Mono Start or Colour Start. You can also
use the Fax Detect feature to receive faxes by
lifting a handset on the same line as the
machine.
(Also see Fax Detect on page 35.)

answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one
of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
