Ring delay6
The ring delay sets the number of times the 
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only 
and Fax/Tel modes.
If you have external or extension telephones 
on the same line as the machine or subscribe 
to the BT Call Sign
1 service, keep the 
maximum number of rings. (See Operation 
from extension telephoneson page 47 and 
Fax Detecton page 41.)

F/T ring time6
When somebody calls your machine, you and 
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring 
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring 
delay setting. 
If the call is a fax, then your machine will 
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the 
machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast 
double-ring) for the time you have set in the 
F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring 
it means that you have a voice caller on the 
line.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine, 
extension and external telephones will not 
ring; however, you can still answer the call on 
any telephone. (For more information see 
Using remote codeson page 49.)

Fax Detect6
Turning fax detect On allows the machine to 
receive fax calls automatically if you lift any 
handset on the same line as the machine.
When you see Receiving on the LCD or 
when you hear ‘chirps’ through the handset of 
an extension telephone connected to another 
telephone wall socket, just replace the 
handset and your machine will receive the 
fax.

Setting the telephone line 
type7
If you are connecting the machine to a line 
that features a PBX or ISDN to send and 
receive faxes, it is necessary to change the 
Telephone Line Type accordingly by 
completing the following steps. If you are 
using a line that features a PBX, you can also 
set your machine to gain access to an outside 
line always or not.

an outside line.
• If you choose Always, you can access 
an outside line without pressing Tel/R.
 
fPress Stop/Exit.
PBX and TRANSFER7
The machine is initially set to Normal, which 
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN 
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line. 
However, many offices use a central 
telephone system or Private Branch 
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be 
connected to most types of PBX. The 
machine’s recall feature supports timed break 
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most 
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to 
an outside line, or transfer calls to another 
extension. The feature works when Tel/R is 
pressed.

Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as 
part of a number stored in a One-Touch or 
Speed-Dial location. When programming 
the One-Touch or Speed-Dial number 
(Menu, 2, 3, 1 or 2, 3, 2) press Tel/R first 
(the screen displays “!”) then enter the 
telephone number. If you do this, you do 
not need to press Tel/R each time before 
you dial using a One-Touch or Speed-Dial 
location. (Storing one-touch dial 
numberson page 53 or Storing speed-
dial numberson page 54.) However, if 
PBX is not chosen in the Telephone Line 
Type setting, you cannot use the One-
Touch or Speed-Dial number the Tel/R 
press is programmed into.
 
BT call sign (U.K. only)7
The BT Call Sign subscriber service is a way 
to have a separate number for your machine, 
it allows you to have at least two separate 
telephone numbers on one telephone line. 
Each telephone number has its own 
distinctive ringing pattern.
You can set up your machine so that it only 
responds to the second number.
When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, 
the receive mode is set to Manual 
automatically. Manual mode will not respond 
to incoming telephone calls, since the 
number you use for telephone calls will use 
the normal ring pattern. If you turn the feature 
off, your receive mode will remain on 
Manual.

Connecting an external 
TAD
7
You can connect an external Telephone 
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as 
your machine. When the TAD answers a call, 
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax 
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. 
If it hears them it will take over the call and 
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will 
let your TAD take a voice message and the 
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four 
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings). 
This is because your machine cannot hear 
the CNG tones until the external TAD has 
picked up the call. The sending machine will 
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds 
longer. We do not recommend using the toll 
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs 
more than four rings to activate it.
Note
If you have problems receiving faxes, 
reduce the ring delay setting on your 
external TAD.
 
Connections7
The external TAD must be connected as 
shown in the illustration below.
 
1TAD
aSet your external TAD to one or two 
rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay 
setting does not apply.)
bRecord the outgoing message on your 
external TAD.
cSet the TAD to answer calls.
dSet the Receive Mode to 
External TAD. (See Choosing the 
receive modeon page 39.)

7 Recording an outgoing 
message (OGM)7
aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the 
beginning of your message. This allows 
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with 
an initial 5 second silence because the 
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud 
voice. You may try leaving out this pause, 
but if your machine has trouble receiving, 
then you should re-record the OGM to 
include it.
 
Multi-line connections (PBX)7
We suggest you ask the company who 
installed your PBX to connect your machine. 
If you have a multi line system we suggest 
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the 
last line on the system. This prevents the 
machine being activated each time the 
system receives telephone calls. If all 
incoming calls will be answered by a 
switchboard operator we recommend that 
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will 
operate properly under all circumstances 
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties 
with sending or receiving faxes should be 
reported first to the company who handles 
your PBX.

Note
You need to turn the Remote Codes 
setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code 
l51 and Telephone Answer Code #51. 
(See Using remote codeson page 49.)
 
Operation from extension 
telephones7
If you answer a fax call on an extension 
telephone, or an external telephone that is 
correctly connected to the machine into the 
correct socket on the machine, you can make 
your machine take the call by using the Fax 
Receive Code. When you press the Fax 
Receive Code l51 the machine starts to 
receive the fax. 
If you answer a call and no one is on 
the line:
7
You should assume that you’re receiving a 
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the 
machine’s LCD shows Receiving, and then 
hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to 
make your machine tactically take the call. 
(See Fax Detecton page 41.)

For Fax/Tel mode only7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will 
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and 
then press Tel/R to answer.
If you’re at an extension telephone, you will 
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring 
Time and then press #51 between the 
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, 
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send 
the call back to the machine by pressing l51.
Connecting an external or 
extension telephone7
You can connect a separate telephone 
directly to your machine as shown in the 
diagram below.
 
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone, 
the LCD shows Telephone.
Using extension telephones (U.K. 
only)
7
Your premises may already be wired with 
parallel extension telephones (those 
connected to sockets in other rooms in the 
building), or perhaps you intend to add 
extension telephones to your line. While the 
simplest arrangement is a parallel 
connection, there are some reasons why this 
arrangement may cause problems.
The most common problem, is someone 
picking up an extension telephone while the 
machine is trying to send a fax.
Such problems can easily be eliminated, if 
you arrange modification of your extension 
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are 
connected “downstream” of your machine, in 
a master/slave configuration (see figure 2 on 
page 49). In such a configuration, this 
machine can always detect whether a 
telephone is in use, so it will not attempt to 
seize the line during that time. This is known 
as “telephone off-hook detection”.
The inadvisable configuration is shown in 
figure 1, and the recommended master/slave 
configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be 
arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon 
Hull Telecommunications, your PBX 
maintainer or a qualified telephone 
installation company as appropriate. Simply 
explained, the extension telephone circuit 
should be terminated on a normal modular 
plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be 
inserted into the modular socket of the white 
“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the 
line cord assembly.

These telephones are now connected as 
external devices as shown on page 48, 
because they are connected to the fax 
machine via the T-connector.
Using a cordless external 
handset7
If your cordless telephone is connected to the 
telephone line cord (see page 48) and you 
typically carry the cordless handset 
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during 
the Ring Delay. 
If you let the machine answer first, you will 
have to go to the machine so you can press 
Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless 
handset.
Using remote codes7
Fax Receive Code7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or 
external telephone, you can tell your machine 
to receive it by pressing the fax receive code 
l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then 
replace the handset. (See Fax 
Detecton page 41.)
Telephone Answer Code7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is 
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T 
(double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If you 
pick up the call on an extension telephone 
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51 
(make sure you press this between the rings).
