Receiving a Fax in FAX/TAD Mode

swering device answers and records messages when the machine receives tele-
phone calls. If the incoming call is a fax call, the machine receives the fax
automatically.
A When there is an incoming call, the machine rings up to five times.
If the external telephone answering device does not answer, the machine
starts to receive the fax automatically.

lence on the line for 30 seconds (silence detection).
• If a fax calling tone or no sound is detected, the machine starts to receive
the fax automatically.

answering device records messages.

phone answering device goes on-hook, unless you press the {Clear/Stop} key
and disconnect the call.
