Connecting to a fax machine
IMPORTANT
Check in your fax machine user
guide that it is compatible for use
with an answering machine.
Most fax machines and modems are designed to work
with answering machines so that you can receive both
fax and voice calls.
Connecting up
1. Connect your BT Synergy 3505 telephone line cord to
the fax machine. The socket is likely to be on the back of
the fax machine’s telephone line cord socket (doubler
socket) or there may be a separate socket at the side or
back of the fax.
2. Set your fax machine reception mode to TAD/FAX .
(See your fax user guide for instructions).
3. Make sure the answer delay (i.e. the number of rings
before your answering machine picks up a call) is always
less on the answering machine than the fax machine/fax
modem. This means your answering machine will always
pick up the call first and switch it to the fax machine if it
hears the fax tones.
