When the call is a fax
After an incoming call rings, the machine receives the fax automatically.
When the call is a telephone call
The answering machine activates, enabling the caller to leave a message. If you pick up the
handset before the answering machine starts recording a message, you can talk with the
caller.
● You need to connect your answering machine to the machine beforehand.
● Set the answering machine to answer after a few rings.
● We recommend that you add approximately 4 seconds of silence at the beginning of the
message or set the maximum recording time to 20 seconds.
<DRPD>
If you have subscribed to a Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service provided by your
telephone company, this receiving mode is available. This service assigns two or more
telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line. You can use one of
these numbers for faxes and one for telephone calls.
When the machine receives a call, it automatically recognizes the ring pattern and your
telephone rings differently depending on whether the call is a fax or telephone call. If the ring
pattern is for a fax, the machine automatically receives the fax.
● For more information about this service, contact your telephone company.
● You need to connect your telephone to the machine beforehand.
● Depending on the type of telephone connected to it, the machine may not be able to send or receive faxes
properly.
● If you are connecting an external telephone with fax functions, set the telephone to not receive faxes
automatically.
● If you pick up the telephone handset and hear a beep, the call is a fax. You can receive the fax just by using
the telephone to enter a specic ID number.
