Multi-Line Connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave the machine in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night. If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received. As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the machine cannot be made. If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX: 1 It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PBX. 2 If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls. 3 The machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.
