How answering machine mode operates
While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your
answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers can
leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your
fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will
take over the line and begin reception.
♦ If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the answering
machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.
♦ The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice
messages were received, when only fax messages were received.
♦ To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning reception if you
call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any
three keys (other than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "*", and "*")
on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone
capable of tone dialling.
When you return and turn off
your answering machine, be
sure to change the reception
mode back to TEL/FAX, FAX,
or TEL!
