Philips Fax Machine Overview page 18

If you cannot receive any faxes, you may have set both
ringing signal numbers too high (see points 2 and 4). Set
both ringing signal numbers to values lower than five.
If you are using other devices apart from the fax machine
(telephones, answering machines), which are not con-
nected by serial links (see Glossary), the ringing pattern
may change as follows: Other devices ring as often as set
under . Your fax will ring as often as set
under or
To receive faxes without any ring signals, set the amount of ring
signals in to 0.
You should use this option only with devices with integral an-
swering machines. If, for example, you do not wish to be dis-
turbed by calls or faxes arriving at night, you may set the number
of ringing signals to 0. Faxes are then received silently and calls
are immediately answered by the answering machine, provided
you have switched the answering machine on.
For devices without integral answering machine the fax-switch
is turned off, i.e. your device immediately switches over to fax
reception and will not ring, when calls are received (the caller
hears a whistling tone).
! For this reason calls cannot be recorded by any
external answering machine which may be connected.
If you select
matically printed out by your fax machine, if you activate the fax
reception by pressing START. This may be sensible for example,
if you wish to receive your faxes by modem at your computer.
If you select option 5/2 at
machine will start after two ringing signals instead of after five,
when you receive messages. Via the remote access function you
have the opportunity to check whether your answering machine
holds any messages without incurring telephone cost (if your an-
swering machine turns itself on after only two ringing signals you
will know, that new messages have been left). After listening to
your new messages your answering machine will, at the next call,
switch itself on again after five ringing signals.
