[. . . ] If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialling. Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see Chapter 3, Receiving Documents). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated. 62 Answering Machine Connection How answering machine mode operates While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by the answering machine and its outgoing message will play. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin reception. If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly. The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice messages were received, when only fax messages were received. Note: To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning reception if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "*", and "*") on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling. 63 6. Answering Machine When you return and turn off your answering machine, be sure to change the reception mode back to FAX/TEL, FAX, or TEL! Answering Machine Connection Optional A. M. Connection Settings If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls. Quiet Detect Time This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers. Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has been set to 6 seconds at the factory. This gives the best performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust this setting depending on the disconnect time of your answering machine. Some answering machines may have unusually fast disconnect times (equal to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case, try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds. If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence. To change the Quiet Detect Time setting, reset Option Setting 9 as explained in Chapter 8, Option Settings. Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by Normal Dialling. 64 Answering Machine Connection Select Auto Receive 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, reset Option Setting 12 as explained in Chapter 8, Option 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, preventing callers from leaving voice messages. Quiet Detect Start Timing This setting can be used to delay the start of the Quiet Detect Time function. For example, if you want to insert a pause at the beginning of your answering machine's outgoing message to ensure clear detection of fax signals, you can use this setting to delay the start of silence detection so that the pause will not cause the fax to take over the line. Quiet Detect Start Timing has been turned off at the factory. If you want to use this function, turn it on by resetting Option Setting 10 to the desired delay time (1 to 15 seconds).
