The modem and FAX mode is able to decode fax messages that are transmitted over the telephone wire.

There is a “Half-duplex Auto Mode” and a “Full-duplex Auto Mode” that will detect all transmission parameters automatically by analyzing the T.30 signaling.

WARNING: To interface with the line, a line coupler is required. This adapter has two functions: it connects the audio from telephone line to the decoder input at the correct level, and it isolates the recorder electrically from the telephone line. Do not connect the line directly to the decoder input; the decoder will interfere the fax signal and may be destroyed.
