External Answering Machine - Philips MAGIC 2 User Manual

To be able to use this function you must set your additional or
cordless telephone to tone dialling. If your telephone service is
not compatible with this dialling method and requires pulse di-
alling, you must temporarily set your additional device to trans-
mit tone dial signals. Please refer to the operating instructions of
your additional device to find out how to make this temporary
adjustment.
! Only change the specified EASYLINK codes if absolutely
necessary!
If you need to change the pre-set codes, select MENU 34
and press OK. Enter a two digit code. The first digit should be
the sign * or #. Confirm with OK. Execute this procedure for
each of the three codes.
Please note that the three EASYLINK codes must be different.
Otherwise on the display appears:
Connect the answering machine as described in chapter Instal-
lation / Connecting additional devices.
To provide for the optimum performance of an external answering ma-
chine, set this device to ring once or twice. To avoid the automatic
acceptance of calls by the fax-switch, you must set
and to a value at least two ringing signals
higher than the setting of the external answering machine.
If you switch off the external answering machine, calls are ac-
cepted by the fax-switch (see sub-heading Setting the operating
mode SM /without built-in answering machine)
The answering message of your answering machine should
be shorter than 10 secs.
Please avoid music in your answering message.
If your fax machine is unable to recognise older fax machine
models, which do not transmit those signals that are
commonly used in today's technology, you should advise
your callers in your answering message to press * and 5
followed by START to commence the fax reception.
If the automatic fax reception is impossible, press START to
manually begin receiving the fax.
If your answering machine provides an "economy function"
(e.g. a function which changes the number of ringing
signals as soon as a message was recorded), you should
preferably switch this function off.
It is possible that the answering machine not only counts
the messages received, but also the number of fax calls.
Please ensure that the code for starting the fax reception
from other telephones (factory setting * and 5) is not the
same as for remote access to recorded messages. Where
necessary the code for function 34 may be changed (see
sub-heading EASYLINK).
If your answering machine accepts the call but your fax
machine does not stop ringing, try and install your answer-
ing machine by serial connection, for example by connect-
ing it to the same telephone socket or to the EXT. port of
your fax machine (see chapter Installation / Connection of
additional devices).
If your answering m/c cannot accept calls, your fax machine
will automatically start to receive faxes after the no. of
ringing signals set in
If your external answering machine records fax signals, but
your fax machine cannot receive any faxes, check the
connection of your external answering machine. Connect
the external answering machine to the same telephone
socket or to the EXT. port of your fax machine (see chapter
Installation / Connection of additional devices).
