Appendix AA - 6
Note
These phones are now connected as external 
devices as per page A-3, because they are 
connected to the fax machine via the 
T-connector.
Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. 
While it is often relatively simple to connect 
the machine to a key system or a PBX 
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that 
you contact the company that installed your 
telephone system and ask them to connect 
the machine for you. It is advisable to have a 
separate line for the machine. 
If the 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.
If you are installing the machine to 
work with a PBX
1It is not guaranteed that the unit will 
operate properly under all 
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of 
difficulty should be reported first to the 
company that handles your PBX.
2If all incoming calls will be answered by 
a switchboard operator, it is 
recommended that the Receive Mode 
be set to 
Manual. All incoming calls 
should initially be regarded as telephone 
calls.
Custom features on your 
phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call 
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering 
service, an alarm system or other custom 
feature on one phone line it may create a 
problem with the operation of your machine. 
(See  Custom features on a single line.  on 
page 11-12.)

On-screen 
programming
Your machine is designed to be easy to use 
with LCD on-screen programming using the 
navigation keys. User-friendly programming 
helps you take full advantage of all the menu 
selections your machine has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, 
we have created step-by-step on-screen 
instructions to help you program your 
machine. All you need to do is follow the 
instructions as they guide you through the 
menu selections and programming options.
Menu table
The Menu table that begins on page B-3 will 
help you understand the menu selections and 
options that are found in the machine’s 
programs. Once you become familiar with 
programming, you can use the Menu table as 
a quick reference when you want to change 
your settings.
Note
You can program your machine by pressing 
Menu/Set, followed by the menu numbers. 
For example to set Beeper Volume to 
Low.
Press  Menu/Set , 1 , 4 , 2  and 
▲ or ▼ to select 
Low.
Press  Menu/Set .
Memory storage
If there is a power failure, you will not lose 
your menu settings because they are stored 
permanently. Temporary settings (such as 
Contrast, Overseas Mode, and so on) will be 
lost. You may also have to reset the date and 
time.
