INITIAL SETTINGS SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE Your machine has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes: ● AUTO mode: Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your telephone line. The machine will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes. ● MAN. mode: This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls if you have an extension phone. To have true manual mode, the machine must be set to not answer while in MAN. mode (see "SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS FOR MANUAL RECEPTION" (p.29)). You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the receiver on the extension phone. ● A.M. mode: Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the machine and you want the answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out. 2 Note If you are using distinctive ringing as described in "DISTINCTIVE RINGING" on page 41, you must set the reception mode to AUTO. This is true, as well, if you are using an answering machine with distinctive ringing (in this case, the answering machine must be connected to a separate wall jack, not to your machine). To select the reception mode, press the [RECEPTION MODE] key until the desired reception mode appears in the display. NOV 05 WED 8:20 AM STAD-BY AUTO 100% The selected reception mode appears. For more information on reception modes, refer to "RECEIVING FAXES" (p.63)". 27
