If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the HP Fax will create a special ring to indicate it is a voice call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the handset. You should not answer voice calls from other telephones on the line. The device cannot tell that you picked up the extension phone and will keep ringing. You will have to press Cancel on the HP Fax to stop the ringing. user guide 83
