on the answering machine.
l If you have troubles receiving faxes in the
ANS/FAX mode, change the silence
detection time mode as described on Page

ensure fax reception when a fax tone is
not detected on the line by your fax
machine.
l When only fax messages are received, your
answering machine may still indicate a
voice message has been left, even though
none were actually received.
l l If the sound level of the incoming caller is
too low due to a poor telephone
connection, the fax machine and/or
answering machine may not function
properly.
l l If the answering machine does not answer
within 6 rings for such reasons that
recording message is full on the tape or
the answering machine is switched off,
your fax unit automatically switches to the
TEL/FAX mode and takes the call
according to the steps described in
“Receiving in TEL/FAX mode.” If the
answering machine is featured with a user-
selectable ring counter, set the machine to
answer an incoming call within 4 rings.
l When you are using the TEL mode on your
unit and an answering machine is installed,
you must make sure you switch off the
answering machine, otherwise the OGM
from the answering machine will disrupt
your telephone conversation.
