To change the answer mode, press the Auto Answer
button. The light stays on when Auto
Answer mode is turned on. Press the button again to manually receive faxes.
If you connected a telephone with an answering machine, you can set the number of rings before
the product picks up. For example, if your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring,
you can set the product to pick up on the fifth ring. If the incoming call is a fax and you pick up
the phone or the answering machine answers, the product automatically begins receiving the
transmission. If the incoming call is a caller, the phone can be used as normal or a message can be
left on the answering machine.
If your phone company provides Distinctive Ring Service, you can also have a second phone
number dedicated to receiving faxes that’s on the same line as the one you use for making voice
calls. Then set the appropriate DRD setting (a double ring tone, for example).

To receive faxes manually, turn off Auto Answer mode. If you connected the product and a phone
or answering machine to a phone line that also receives voice calls, then you can press a button on
the product to receive the fax, or allow your answering machine to determine if a call is an
incoming fax.
