Optional A.M. Mode Settings
If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the
response of the answering machine hookup to incoming calls.
Quiet Detect Time
The fax machine is set to take over the line and begin reception if it
detects 4 seconds of silence after the answering machine answers. If
needed, you can change this setting to any number of seconds from 1
to 10.
♦ We recommend that you do not set Quiet Detect Time under 3 sec-
onds.
♦ If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a
message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing
message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is
longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing mes-
sage to shorten the silence.
Note:
Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering “00” for the time. Note,
however, that the fax machine may not be able to receive manually-sent
faxes from some older fax machines.
