Receiving a fax | 98
Receiving manually in Tel mode
You can receive a fax call by pressing (On Hook Dial) button and then pressing (Start)
when you hear a fax tone.
Receiving in Answering Machine/Fax mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket on the back of your
machine. If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message. If your
machine detects a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.
• If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering machine is switched off,
or no answering machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes
into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
• If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set the machine to answer
incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If the machine is in Tel mode, disconnect or switch off the answering machine with the
fax machine. Otherwise, the outgoing message from the answering machine will
interrupt your phone conversation.
Receiving faxes with an extension telephone
When you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket, you can receive a fax
from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone, without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys *9* on the
extension phone. The machine receives the fax.
*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but
you can change the middle number to whatever you want.
While you are talking over the telephone connected to the EXT socket, copy and scan
features are not available.
