When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will 
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-

Lift the external telephone’s handset, and 
then press

 to answer.

If you’re at an extension phone, you will need 
to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time 
and then press

 between the 

pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, 
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send

If your cordless telephone is connected to the 
EXT. jack of the machine (see page 53) and

the Ring Delay. 

If you let the machine answer first, you will 
have to go to the machine so you can press 

Hook

 to transfer the call to the cordless 

handset.

can turn the F/T ring off by pressing
