Ring count in the TAD/FAX mode

This feature determines the number of rings before the unit answers a call in the TAD/FAX mode.

You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, TOLL SAVER or RINGER OFF.

TOLL SAVER: When you call the unit from a remote location, the number of rings will tell you if there are any new voice messages. If the unit answers on the second ring, there is at least one new recorded message. If the unit answers on the fourth ring, there are no new recorded messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the third ring. The third ring indicates that there are no new recorded messages.

RINGER OFF: The unit will answer without ringing.

Helpful hints:

• To answer a call before the unit does, increase the number of rings.
- If you have difficulty receiving faxes from machines that have an automatic transmission feature, decrease the number of rings.

Important Information

Important information (cont.)

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

This relates to the performance of the apparatus when used in combination with other items of apparatus. It enables the calculation of the maximum number of items of apparatus that may be connected simultaneously to the line by summing the REN values of each item. A BT supplied instrument has a REN value of 1 unless otherwise marked. A maximum REN value of 4 should not be exceeded. The REN value of this apparatus is 1.0.

The approval of this apparatus for connection to the telecommunication systems is invalidated if the apparatus is subject to any modification in any material way not authorised by BABT or it is used with or connected to internal software that has not been formally accepted by BABT.

All apparatus connected to the facsimile machine and thereby connected directly or indirectly to telecommunication systems must be approved apparatus as defined in Section 22 of the British Telecommunication Act 1984.

999 or 112 can be dialled on the apparatus for the purposes of making outgoing calls to the BT Emergency (999 or 112) Service.

NOTES:

- If you experience any problems with the normal use of your apparatus, you should unplug it from the telephone outlet and connect a known working telephone in its place. If the known working telephone still gives problems, then please contact the customer service department of your PSTN operator (e.g. BT etc.). If it operates properly, then the problems are likely to be a fault in your apparatus. In this case, consult your supplier for advice.

- Your PSTN operator may charge you if they attend a service call that is not due to apparatus supplied by them.
