them know the following procedure in advance.
When the other party’s line has touch tone service:
1. After leaving a message, the other party presses their ^ button.
Your unit will switch to the FAX mode.
2. When a fax tone is heard, they start transmission by pressing their start or transmit button.
When the other party’s line has rotary pulse service:
1. They start transmission by pressing their start or transmit button. Your unit starts reception.
2. They make a call reservation (e.g. ...lift the handset) during transmission of their document.
Your unit plays your greeting message.
3. They leave a message after the long beep following your greeting message.
•Begin by transmitting the FAX CORRESPONDENCE leaflet found on page 6-15 to several of
your associates. In this way you can confirm that your unit is functioning correctly and inform
them of the procedure for transmitting documents and/or recording voice-message on your unit.
