Setting up the voice and fax message reception
When the TAD/FAX mode is set, the unit will work as a fax machine and/or answering device.
If a fax call is detected, the unit will automatically receive the fax. If a voice call is detected, the
answering device will play a greeting message and the caller can leave a voice message.

You can use either the pre-recorded greeting messages (see next page) or your own greeting
message (p. 54).
Note:

The incoming message recording time can be
changed (feature #10 on page 65).

Ring count in the TAD/FAX mode
The number of rings before a call is answered can be changed on feature #06 (p. 65).
You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER and RINGER OFF.
TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are
any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one
new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded
messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the
third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new recorded messages.
RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.
●
If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set to 2 or more rings.
