Receiving in 
AUTO Mode 
Before receiving in AUTO Mode, you have to set the machine 
to AUTO Mode by pressing Rcv. Mode/Contrast repeatedly 
until ‘❿AUTO MODE’ is displayed. 
In Standby Mode, AUTO appears in the right hand 
corner of the display.
When a call comes in, the machine answers it. If a fax 
is being received, the machine goes into receive mode. 
If the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will con-
tinue ringing to tell you it is a phone call. You should 
pick up the handset to answer the call, or it will switch 
to automatic reception mode, after approximately 25 
seconds.
Receiving in TAM 
Mode  (SF-3100)
Before receiving in TAM Mode, you have to set the machine 
to TAM Mode by pressing Rcv. Mode/Contrast repeatedly 
until ‘❿TAM MODE’ is displayed. 
In Standby Mode, TAM appears in the right hand cor-
ner of the display.
When a call comes in, the answering machine answers 
and stores the caller’s message if they leave one. If the 
machine detects a fax signal, it goes into receive mode.
If you have set your machine to TAM Mode and your 
answering machine is switched off, or the answering 
machine is not connected to your fax machine, the 
machine will automatically go into receive mode after 
several rings.
If your answering machine has a ‘User-Selectable 
Ring Counter’, set the machine to answer an incom-
ing call in less than four rings.
If the sound level of the call is too low due to a poor 
phone connection, the fax machine or answering 
machine may not work properly.
When you set the machine to TEL Mode and you have 
an answering machine attached, you must make sure 
you switch off the answering machine, or, the outgo-
ing message will interrupt your phone conversation. 
Not all answering machines will work with your fax 
machine.
When your answering machine answers an incoming 
call, it  records a fax tone until it realizes it is a fax 
coming through. Due to this, your answering 
machine may tell you a voice message has been left, 
even when it is actually a fax.
