Fax when Answering
machine Fails
When this function is turned on, your
fax will answer the call after 5 rings if
the answering machine for some
reason fails to answer before that
time. This ensures that you will
receive fax messages even if the
answering machine's tape fills up or
the answering machine is not turned
on.
This function has been turned off at
the factory. If you want to turn it on,
follow the steps below:
Note: When this function is turned
on, make sure that the answering
machine is set to answer on 4 rings
or less. If it isn't, the fax will always
answer first, preventing callers from
leaving voice messages.
