FACSIMILE EXPANSION KIT OPERATION MANUAL AR-FX9

FINAL PREPARATIONS

CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES

If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the machine through the telephone

jack, labeled "TEL," on the rear of the machine.

● Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive both voice and fax messages when you

are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the

reception mode of the machine to "A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.

Comments:

1. It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty

receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.

2. Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing

message to explain that this can be done by pressing their [START] key ( ) after leaving their voice message.

● You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on

your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine will automatically cut in and

take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote

Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See "SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR

USE WITH A PC MODEM" (p.38) and "USING THE REMOTE RECEPTION FUNCTION" (p.39).

If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need to follow the procedure described

below. (Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answering machine must be distinctive ring

compatible.)

Note

The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".
