Additional telephone
If you have connected an additional tele-
phone to the same telephone line (see chapter
Installation / Additional devices), you can ad-
just the number of rings you will hear when there
is an incoming call.
1 Press M, 2912 and OK.
2 Change the value (3, 4 or 5) and press OK.
External answering
machine
Connect your answering machine as described in
chapter Installation / Additional devices.
To provide for the optimum performance of an
external answering machine, set this device to
ring once or twice. To avoid calls taken automati-
cally by the fax switch, you need to set the ring
tones to a number at least two higher than on
your external answering machine. If you have
switched your answering machine off, calls will
be accepted by the fax switch.
Settings example:
Answering machine rings 2
RINGS 4
Tips:
The answering message of your answering ma-
chine should be shorter than ten seconds.
Please avoid music in your outgoing message.
If the automatic fax reception is impossible,
press Y to manually begin receiving the fax.
If your answering machine provides an “econo-
my function” (e.g. a function which changes the
number of ringing signals as soon as a message
was recorded), you should preferably switch this
function off.
It is possible that the answering machine not
only counts the messages received, but also the
number of fax calls.
If your answering machine records fax signals
but your multifunctional machine cannot receive
faxes, you should check the connection of your
external answering machine. Connect the exter-
nal answering machine to the same telephone
socket or to the EXT socket of your machine
(see chapter Installation / Additional devices).
