Using Receive Modes 10
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 32.)
Fax Only 10
Fax Only mode will automatically answer every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel 10
Fax/Tel mode helps you 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.
(See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 32.)
(See Ring Delay on page 32.)
Manual 10
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 Fax Start and choose Receive. You can also use the Fax
Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as the machine.
(See Online User’s Guide.)
External TAD 10
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.
To connect your External TAD, see Online User’s Guide.
