Important information (for Australian users)!

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted Attachment”

which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.

Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in

Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).

You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any

regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket

installed in your premises.

To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket. You can then

insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment.

f the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw securing

it. To do this proceed as follows:

1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw is

too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)

4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your Permitted Attachment,

your installation is completed.

You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall

phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such

cases a new socket will need to be installed.

Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable for

operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the following checks before you call for

service:

●

Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal telephone.

●

If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted Attachment. Leave the

Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.

●

If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service Difficulties and Faults” for

attention.

You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your

telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.

Example: “This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to

answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a

message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”

Activate the answering machine.

Set the receive mode of the fax machine to the TEL mode (p. 42) or FAX ONLY mode

(p. 43).

●

If you set to the FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in the FAX ONLY mode to

more than 5 (feature #06 on page 67). Using the FAX ONLY mode will allow you to

receive faxes if the answering machine is full.

Check the remote access code of the answering machine and program the same code into

the remote operation ID of the fax machine. See feature #12 on page 68.

Note:

●

We recommend you keep the greeting message around to 10 seconds long. If the greeting message is

too long, some incoming fax calls may not be answered by the fax machine.

Every time the fax machine receives a document, a silent pause or fax tone may be recorded on the

answering machine.

●

Note for KX-FP81NZ users:

●

When using the unit with an external answering machine, please purchase an extension telephone line

cord or a BT socket to RJ11 plug adaptor.

●

Not all telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket.
