CHAPTER 7: RECEPTION MODES
SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE
Press the TEL FAX TAD key at least once to configure the reception mode you want:
MANUAL MODE
TEL icon lit, FAX and TAD icons off.
Your machine acts as a telephone. You use this mode if the fax traffic is low.
On an incoming call, the machine rings. It never unhooks automatically (except after 10 rings if remote
interrogation is authorised, in which case it transmits the announcement or bips if no announcement has
been recorded).
If you unhook, you can either continue in vocal conversation or receive a fax by pressing the START key.
AUTOMATIC MODE WITH ANSWERING MACHINE
TEL, FAX and TAD icons lit.
Your machine acts as a telephone with an answering machine associated with a fax. You use this mode
when you are absent or if you do not want to lose telephone calls and faxes.
On an incoming call, your machine unhooks after a few rings and transmits your answering machine
announcement:
• if the call is a fax, your machine passes into fax reception mode,
• if it is a vocal communication, your correspondent can leave a message.
Note: You can set the number of rings before your machine unhooks.
AUTOMATIC MODE WITHOUT ANSWERING MACHINE
TEL and FAX icons lit, TAD icon off.
Your machine automatically sorts calls before presenting them to you. You use this mode when fax
traffic is high and you do not want to be disturbed by reception of a fax.
On an incoming call, the machine unhooks automatically without disturbing you (*), transmits a welcome
message to your correspondent inviting him to wait (example: "Please hold the line"), then:
• if the call is a fax, your machine receives the fax,
• if it is a vocal communication, your machine rings (alert ring) for 30 seconds to let you know (**). During
this time, your correspondent hears a ringing tone.
(*) For this, the machine does not make you wait for the ringing tone generated by the telephone network. On the other hand, if your installation
has parallel telephones, these ring normally.
(**) If your installation has parallel telephones, these do not ring.
