2 Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.
● This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.
3 Record a greeting message on the answering machine.
Example:
“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to
answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a
message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”
● We recommend you record a message up to 10 seconds long, and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function
correctly.

● If you set to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring setting in FAX ONLY mode to more

if the answering machine is full.
