Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."
♦
It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds.
If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by
automatic dialing.
♦
If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a
pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This
will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic
dialling is used.
Activating the answering machine connection
Before you go out, activate the answering machine connection as
follows:
1
Set the reception mode to A.M.
RESOLUTION
RECEPTION MODE
FAX
TEL
A.M.

2
Set your answering machine to auto
answer.
♦
Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of
two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by auto-
matic dialling.
