Some receive modes answer automatically
([Fax Only] and [Fax/Tel]). You may
want to change the Ring Delay before using
these modes.
Fax Only
[Fax Only] mode automatically will
answer every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel
[Fax/Tel] mode helps you manage
incoming calls, by recognising whether they
are fax or voice calls and handling them in
one of the following ways:
• Faxes will be received automatically.
• Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell
you to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a
pseudo/double-ring made by your
machine.
Manual
[Manual] mode turns off all automatic
answering functions (unless you are using
the BT Call Sign feature).
To receive a fax in [Manual] mode, lift the
handset of the external telephone. When
you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps),
press the Start button, and then select
[Receive] to receive a fax. You can also
use the Fax Detect feature to receive faxes
by lifting a handset on the same line as the
machine.
External TAD
[External TAD] mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls.
Incoming calls will be handled in the
following ways:
• Faxes will be received automatically.
• Voice callers can record a message on
the external TAD.
