Setting up the voice and fax message reception
When TAD/FAX mode is set, the unit will work as a fax machine and/or answering device.
If a fax tone is detected, the unit will automatically receive the fax. If a phone call is detected, the
answering device will play a greeting message and the caller can leave a voice message in the
common memory. If you share the unit with other people and wish to prevent them from
retrieving messages, use the voice mailbox feature (p. 52–54).
● You can use either the pre-recorded greeting message (see below) or your own greeting
message (p. 48).
Note:
● If the arrow ( ▼ ) is already shown on the right
of the display and you wish to change the ring
count, turn it off once then on again by
pressing
and follow the
instructions in step 3.
● The incoming message recording time can be
changed (feature #10 on page 63).
● When the remaining time is low, erase
unnecessary messages (p. 50). For voice
memory capacity for incoming messages, see
page 85.
● While an incoming call is being recorded, you
can monitor it through the speaker. If this
feature is not required, set feature #67 to off
(p. 69).

Ring count in TAD/FAX mode
You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF (feature #06 on page 62).
TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are
any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one
new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded
messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the
third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new recorded messages.
RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.
● If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set to 2 or more rings.
