How phone calls and faxes are received
1. “INCOMING CALL”
 will be displayed but the unit will
not ring.
2. The unit will wait for the duration of 2 rings before
answering the call.
R The number of rings is determined by the “TEL/
FAX delayed ring count” (feature #212 on
page 81).
R During this time, an extension telephone will ring.
3. The unit will answer the call and try to detect a fax
calling tone.

ringing.

A The unit will ring. You may answer the call.
R To answer using the handset of the base unit, lift
the handset and talk to the other party.

the same telephone line as this unit, lift the
handset and press MGNM0N (default auto

the fax function.
R Some fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
8.8 Receive polling (retrieving a
fax placed on another fax

another compatible machine. Therefore you pay for the

numbers that match the ones on a programmable junk
fax prohibitor list.
