An answering
machine and a shared
voice and fax line.
YES
The EasyShare AiO will not automatically answer calls.
Instead, the answering machine will answer the call and
the EasyShare AiO will monitor the line. If the
EasyShare AiO detects fax tones, the EasyShare AiO
will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the
EasyShare AiO ignores the call.
This is the recommended default setting if you have an
answering machine. Make sure the answering machine
is set up properly with the EasyShare AiO.
Also, set your EasyShare AiO to answer the phone after
the answering machine. The number of rings to answer
for the EasyShare AiO should be greater than the
number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
You want the answering machine to answer before your
EasyShare AiO. For more information on setting the
number of rings to answer, see Set Rings to Answer.

Rings to Answer
You can specify how many rings should occur before your Kodak EasyShare AiO automatically answers an
incoming call. This setting only applies if Answering Machine Mode is set to On.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as
your EasyShare AiO. You want the answering machine to answer the phone before the EasyShare AiO. The
number of rings to answer for the EasyShare AiO should be greater than the number of rings to answer for
the answering machine. For example, if your answering machine is set to answer in 4 rings and your
EasyShare AiO to answer in 5 rings, the answering machine will answer an incoming call first and the
EasyShare AiO will monitor the line. If the EasyShare AiO detects incoming fax tones, it will receive the fax.
If the call is a voice call, the EasyShare AiO ignores the call.
