RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS The F/T Switch (F/T Mode) When you share one line for your telephone and fax machine, in the F/T switch mode, the fax machine can determine whether an incoming call is a fax or a telephone call. (See diagram below.) Incoming Call The fax machine picks up after ring delay elapses. All extensions in the home will ring for a period depending on your ring delay setting (user selectable). You pick up any extension within ring delay period. The fax machine picks up the call and automatically detects whether it is a fax or voice call. If FAX DETECT is ON, the fax machine will determine if it is a fax call or not. If it is OFF, you must manually determine if it is a voice or fax call. Fax call Voice call Fax call Voice call Fax reception is automatically activated. The fax message is received. Only the fax handset rings, (double ring) for you to pick up. The fax will ring for several seconds, depending on your F/T ring time setting (user selectable). If FAX DETECT is ON, the fax machine will start receiving faxes automatically, if it is OFF, press Start on the fax machine. Talk as normal. The caller may hang up. The caller stays on the line through the entire 10-60 second ring time. You pick up the handset and press TEL/Speakerphone. Talk as normal.

This machine does not re-generate ringing conditions to any extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the time set on the ring delay period. After the period has expired, only the fax machine will ring. The fax machine will ring depending on the F/T ring time you have selected. 7-5
