Receiving Faxes
This setting determines the number of rings before the unit answers a call in the FAX ONLY mode.
You can choose from 1 to 4 rings.
Helpful hints:
● To answer a call before the unit does, increase the number of rings.
● If you have difficulty receiving faxes, the other parties may have tried to send faxes before confirming if your
unit answered or not. Decrease the number of rings.

Setting the ring count in the FAX ONLY mode
If you have a telephone line just for receiving faxes, we recommend the
following setup.
Example: A telephone line is used for voice calls and a separate telephone line for faxes. Therefore, two
telephone lines are used. When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine will ring twice (see
above).
Line 1 – Voice calls
Line 2 – Fax calls
Wall jack
Only a fax machine
is connected.
Note:
● If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set
this ring count setting to 2 or more rings.
