the [EXT] socket of this unit, lift the handset, then
press {W} on the unit to talk to the other party.
L To answer using another telephone connected to
the same telephone line as this unit, lift the
handset and talk to the other party.
L The number of rings is determined by the “Silent
fax recognition ring count” (feature #436 on
page 61).
L Callers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
B If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.

tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
