(RECEIVE\MODE)
Regardless of the mode that you select, you can always place calls and send faxes. The descriptions below
will help you understand how the unit can work for you.
TEL mode: This mode can be used when you wish to answer all calls manually. The unit will not
automatically answer fax and voice calls. If you wish to answer a fax call, you can start
reception by pressing the START/SET button.
If no one answers an incoming call by 15 rings, the receive mode will automatically
switch to the TEL/FAX mode—KX-F1000AL, or the ANS/FAX mode—KX-F1100AL.
TEL/FAX mode: This mode can be used when you do not hear the unit ring when faxes are received
but wish to answer voice calls. The unit will automatically receive fax documents
without ringing when fax calls are received. For further details, see page 21.
FAX mode: We recommend that you select this mode when you will be using the unit solely as a
fax machine. The unit will automatically answer all calls and generate fax tones to the
callers. Callers will hear fax tones and will only be able to transmit faxes.
EXT. TAM mode
(KX-F1000AL only):
This mode can be used when you wish to connect a telephone answering machine
(TAM) to the external telephone jack on your facsimile unit. If a voice call is detected,
the answering machine will begin recording. If a fax call is detected, the facsimile unit
will disconnect the answering machine and receive the fax documents. For further
details, see page 24. If your external telephone does not have an answering/recording
feature, do not select this mode. We recommend that you select the TEL/FAX or TEL
mode.
ANS/FAX mode
(KX-F1100AL only):
This mode can be used when you wish the unit to record voice messages and/or
receive fax messages.
When a call is received, the unit will play the ANS/FAX mode greeting message. If a
voice call is detected, the answering system will begin recording, then caller can leave
a voice message. If a fax call is detected, the unit will switch to the fax and receive fax
documents.
