With certain answering machines, it may not be possible to find a Quiet Detect Time
setting which will allow both fax reception and uninterrupted voice message
recording. In this case, callers on tone dial lines can still send faxes by pressing "5",
"*", and "*" on their fax. This is the code for activating fax reception which can be
changed by resetting Option Setting 5.
To use this method, turn off Quiet Detect Time by resetting Option Setting 8 to "00".
and then change your outgoing message to inform callers on tone dial lines that
they can send a fax by pressing "5". "*", "*", and then their Start key.
"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call
right now. After the beep, please leave a message, or, if you want to send a fax
and are calling on a touch-tone line, press 'five' once, 'asterisk' twice, and then your
facsimile Start key."
men 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.
FAX Answer when A.M. Fails has been turned off at the factory. If you want to turn it
on, reset Option Setting 12 as described in Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
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, pre-
venting callers from leaving voice messages.
