quiet detect time
the fax machine is set to take over the line and begin reception if it detects 4 seconds of silence after the answering machine answers. if needed, you can change this setting to any number of seconds from 1 to 10.
1 we recommend that you do not set quiet detect time under 3 seconds.
2 if the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a longer quiet detect time setting. if your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence.
quiet detect time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. note, however, that the fax machine may not be able to receive manually-sent faxes from some older fax machines.

fax when answering machine fails
when this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. this ensures that you will receive fax messages even if the answering machine’s tape fills up or the answering machine is not turned on.
this function has been turned off at the factory. if you want to turn it on, follow the steps below:
when this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine is set to answer on 4 rings or less. if it isn’t, the fax will always answer first, preventing callers from leaving voice messages.
