Using Receive Modes 5
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 30.)
Fax Only 5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel 5
Fax/Tel mode helps you 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.
If you use Fax/Tel mode, see F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only) on page 30 and Ring
Delay on page 30.
Manual 5
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, and then press
2 to choose Receive. You can also use the
Fax Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting
a handset on the same line as the machine.
(See Fax Detect on page 31.)
External TAD 5
External TAD mode lets an external
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.
To connect your External TAD, see
Connecting an external TAD (telephone
answering device) on page 35.
