Connecting an Answering Machine

♦

If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that

it will answer by the fourth ring.

Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make

sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code

used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see Chapter

3, Receiving Documents). If they are the same, entering the code from an

outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be

activated.

How the connection operates

While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by

your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice

callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly

monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence

greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin

reception.

♦

If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the

answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.

♦

The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that

voice messages were received, when only fax messages were

received.

♦

To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning recep-

tion if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension

phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax

reception, "5", "

", and "

") on the dial pad of the phone. This can

only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling.

When you return and turn

off your answering

machine, be sure to change

the reception mode back to

FAX/TEL, FAX, or TEL!
