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 uu page 28.)
Fax Only 5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.
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)
uu page 28 and Ring Delay uu page 28.)
Manual 5
Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
BT Call Sign feature.
To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of an external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Mono Start or Colour Start, and then press
2 to choose Receive. 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 uu page 29.)
External TAD 5
External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one
of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
