any extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring
during the period set on ring delay.

Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing
Announcement  (F/T MESSAGE)
(Only for FAX-525DT)

This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD)
when someone calls and your machine is set to F/T mode. Although
callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a message.  To erase
the announcement, follow the directions in chapter 9, “Erasing the
Outgoing Message”.

It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The F/T mode will work
fine without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status of your
machine.

For example, you can leave a message that says:

“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a
fax, please wait until you hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press

51 (your three-digit remote activation code) and press the Start key.”

Fax Detect

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press 

Start

 when you

answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait
for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax screen or when
you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected
to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the
rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically,
even if you lift the handset of an extension phone or a phone or TAD
connected to the machine. Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive
the call only if you’ve answered it at the machine. Selecting OFF means
you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing 

Start

 or by

pressing
