not ring.
2. The unit will wait for the duration of 2 rings before
answering the call.

“TEL/FAX delayed ring count” (feature #78 on
page 50).
L During this time, an extension telephone (if
connected to the same line) will ring.
3. The unit will answer the call and try to detect a fax
calling tone.

The unit receives the fax automatically without
ringing.
When a fax calling tone is not detected
A The unit will ring. You may answer the call.

press {*}{0} (default auto disconnection code)
while the fax machine is ringing.

detected.

L Even when you answer a call with the extension
telephone and press the auto disconnection code,
