the EXT jack on the back of your machine. See page 1.16.

Press Receive mode.

Press and hold Receive mode until “Ans/Fax” displays on 
the bottom line. You may have to repeat this action once or 
twice, depending on the mode you’re in.

When you receive a call, the answering machine answers.

If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine 
stores the message as it would normally. If your machine 
hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to 
receive the fax.

• When you have set your machine to Ans/Fax mode and your 

answering machine is switched off or no answering machine is 
connected to the EXT jack, your machine automatically goes into 
Fax mode after a predefined number of rings. 

• If your answering machine has a “user-selectable ring counter,” 

set it to answer incoming calls within 1 ring. 

• If you are in Tel mode, which is receiving faxes manually, when 

the answering machine is connected to your machine, you must 
switch off the answering machine, or the outgoing message from 
the answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.

You can answer calls using the handset(for America only) or the 
On Hook Dial button.
