10. Data and Fax Calls
The phone can send or receive data when it is connected
to a compatible data terminal (such as a fax machine or
PC) through a data adapter. See the documentation for
the data adapter and terminal.
Only analog data can be sent and received.
The phone recognizes the type of the connected terminal
automatically. For instance, if a fax machine is connected
to the phone, the phone makes a fax call.
Note: Pressing and holding 9 to initiate an emergency call
does not work when the phone is connected to a modem.
To start an outgoing data or fax call
1) Check that the data terminal is properly installed.
A data or fax transmission is always started from the
data terminal.
2) Start the transmission from the data terminal in the
normal way. For example, to send a telefax, start the
transmission from the fax machine’s keypad. The
phone calls the number you dialed from the terminal’s
keypad.
3) After the transmission, end the call from the data
terminal. OR, press
ô.
