Receiving a Fax in FAX/TAD Mode

When the reception mode is set to FAX/TAD mode, the external telephone answering device answers and records messages when the machine receives telephone calls. If the incoming call is a fax call, the machine receives the fax automatically.

When there is an incoming call, the machine rings up to five times.
If the external telephone answering device does not answer, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.
If the external telephone answering device answers, the machine monitors silence on the line for 30 seconds (silence detection).
- If a fax calling tone or no sound is detected, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.
- If a voice is detected, a normal telephone call starts. The external telephone answering device records messages.

You can manually receive a fax during silence detection.
Silence detection does not terminate for 30 seconds even if the external telephone answering device goes on-hook, unless you press the [Clear/Stop] key and disconnect the call.
