If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to

connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being

activated each time a telephone call is received,

As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a to^o wire system. If your line

has more than two wires, proper connection of the fax machine cannot be made.

If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX:

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circum

stances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the

company that handles your PBX.

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operatoi; it is

recommended that the Anst\^er Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls

should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service,

Custom Features on Your Phone Line

If you have Gall Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service, alarm

system or any other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a

problem in the operation of your fax machine.

Connecting a Telephone Answering

Device (TAD)

Sequence

When you have a TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD

answers all calls. The fax machine “listens" for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it

hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t

hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing

message so your caller can leave you a voice message.

See Fax

Handshake

p.2

The TAD must answer within 4 rings (the recommended setting is 2 rings). The

fax machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and

with 4 rings there are only 8-10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “hand

shake," Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for record

ing your outgoing message. Do not use a “toil-saver” ring setting on the TAD.
