Note: Dependent how the phone line is configured in the home, the fax machine may automatically switch to receive mode when it detects the sending machine's fax signals (CNG tones).

When you receive a voice call: The telephone attached to the fax will ring. Pick up the handset to answer the call.

For remote receiving: If you are far from your machine, dial 25 (the remote receiving ID) on the telephone attached to the fax to receive faxes.

Note: The telephone being used, such as a base station for a cordless phone, must be connected through the fax for the remote receiving function to work.
