How Does FaxAbility Work? 6

Your telephone number will have the

standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while

the new number will have a ring pattern of

long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is

On, you will not hear the first ring of all

incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension

telephones will ring as usual. If the fax

machine recognizes the ring pattern, all

ringing will stop and the fax machine will

answer and automatically receive the fax

message. Otherwise, you will hear the

extension telephones and the fax machine

continue to ring. The fax machine always

listens to the ring pattern before it answers,

so do not pick up the telephone during that

time. You will quickly learn to recognize the

ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be

tempted to answer that number. Either you or

a telephone answering device can answer

the main number(s).

Note

After you have set the FaxAbility feature to

On, the receive mode is set to Manual

automatically. Unless you have a TAD or

Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility

number, Manual mode means you must

answer all the call yourself. You can not

change the receive mode to the other

mode while the FaxAbility is set to on.

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON 6

The FaxAbility function is designed to

accommodate the FaxAbility service provided

by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat

Steps 1-3; Step 2 is where you can choose

either On or Off.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls

on your main number can affect fax

transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service

but don’t have Call Waiting, you need do

nothing at this stage. If you do have Call

Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call

Waiting menu option to On. See below.
