Using receive modes 5
Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 34.)
Fax Only 5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 5
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double-ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 34 and Ring Delay on page 34.)

Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the

feature.

BT Call Sign is for U.K. only.
To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of the external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Mono Start or Colour Start, and choose
Receive to receive the fax. You can also use
the Fax Detect feature to receive faxes by
lifting a handset on the same line as the
machine.
(Also see Fax Detect on page 35.)
External TAD 5
External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in the
following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
(For more information see Connecting an
external TAD on page 37.)
