Please note that the two codes must be different. When you enter the same code several times,
CODE NOT OK will be displayed.
To use this function you must set your external phone to tone dialling. If your telephone connection
requires pulse dialling, you must reset your device briefly. Many devices with pulse dialling allow
prefixing a code with
∗
or
#
in order to send signals in tone dialling. Please see the respective
instruction manual for details.
External answering device
Response of external answering device in the operating modes
TEL mode—Your external answering device will pick up after a specific number of rings.
TEL/FAX mode—Your external answering device will pick up after a specific number of rings. If the
answering device does not pick up (e.g. no message is left), fax reception will be activated.
TEL/SILENT FAX RECEPTION mode—Operation of an external answering device is not possible in
this mode.
Setting the external answering device
Please note that the ring count set in function 31 should be at least two rings higher than the ring count of the answering
machine (see example). Generally, the ring count of the answering device should be as small as possible and the
announcement texts as short as possible (maximum of 10 seconds).

3 x rings 5 x rings
Checklist for malfunctions
1) Ensure that the TEL or TEL/FAX mode has been set.
2) Set the ring count of your answering machine to two and that of your fax machine to four.
3) The announcement text of your answering machine should be shorter than 10 seconds.
4) Avoid music in the announcement text.
5) If your fax machine has problems in recognising older fax machines that do not transmit the currently common
recognition signals, you should notify callers in the announcement text that the caller can start fax reception by
pressing the
∗
and
5
keys and then pressing the START key.
6) If your answering machine has a “save function” (i.e. a function where the ring count changes once a new message
was left), you should preferably switch it off.
The answering machine may count the fax calls as well as received messages.
Please note that the code for starting the fax reception from external telephones (default
∗
and
5
) is not identical to the one for remote query of new messages. If necessary, the code can be
changed in function 32 (see subsection on the setting of external telephones).
