External TAD
External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one
of the following ways:
Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the ring delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 37.)
„ Faxes will be automatically received.
Fax only

Fax only mode will automatically answer
every call. If the call is a fax your machine will
receive it.
Fax/Tel
(For more information see Connecting an
external TAD (telephone answering device)
on page 43.)

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
„ Faxes will be automatically received.
„ Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 37 and Ring Delay on page 37.)
Manual
Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
BT Call sign feature.
To receive a fax in manual mode lift the
handset of an external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Mono Start or Colour Start, and choose
2.Receive. You can also use the Fax
Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
(Also see Fax Detect on page 38.)
