Points to keep in mind when setting up  
Do not place the machine near  
heaters or air conditioners.  
Do not place the machine in direct  
sunlight.  
Keep the area around the machine  
clear.  
Keep dust away from the machine.  
About condensation  
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that  
condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of  
documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power  
and wait approximately two hours before using the machine.

Power lead  
Plug the power lead into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) AC outlet.  
Caution: When disconnecting the fax, unplug the telephone line cord  
before unplugging the power lead.  
Caution: The mains outlet (socket outlet) should be installed near the  
equipment and be easily accessable.  
The machine does not have  
a power on/off switch, so  
the power is turned on and  
off by simply plugging or  
unplugging the power lead.  
Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power  
surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and  
telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone  
specialty stores.  
Moving your fax and reconnecting  
Should it be necessary to move your fax to a new location, first disconnect  
the telephone line cord before disconnecting the power lead. When  
reconnecting, it is necessary to connect the power lead before connecting the  
telephone line cord.

A short length of the fax paper will feed out and be cut off. (If this doesn’t  
happen, repeat the loading procedure.)  
Note: The fax has a built-in anti-curl mechanism that will help to reduce  
paper curling problems. The anti-curl mechanism will be more effective at  
the beginning of the paper roll and less effective towards the end.  
Replacing the fax paper  
When the paper runs out, OUT OF PAPER will appear in the display.  
Reception and copying will no longer be possible. To replace the paper, first  
take out the old roll, then load the new roll as described above.  
To assure a long life for your fax and obtain the best reproduction quality, we  
recommend that you use the following Sharp fax (thermal) paper which is  
available from your dealer:  
FO-40PR THERMAL PAPER (50 m roll)  
The use of any other paper may result in poor copy quality and excessive  
build-up of residue on the head. This is due to the different thermal  
reactive characteristics of each manufacturer’s paper.  
Handling fax paper  
Do not unpack the paper until you are ready to use it. It may become  
discoloured if:  
It is stored at high humidity or high temperature.  
It is exposed to direct sunlight.  
It comes in contact with glue, thinner, or a freshly copied blueprint.  
A rubber eraser or adhesive tape is used on it, or it is scratched.

Selecting the Reception Mode  
Selecting the Reception Mode  
Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:  
TEL mode:  
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also  
receive faxes; however, all calls must be answered first by picking up the  
fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.  
FAX mode:  
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax  
will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes sent  
automatically.  
TEL/FAX mode:  
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call  
comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually  
dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call,  
the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an  
automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.  
ANS. mode: Select this mode when you are out and want the built-in  
answering machine to answer all calls. Voice messages will be recorded, and  
fax messages will be received automatically.

The FO-475’s built-in answering machine allows you to receive both voice  
messages and fax transmissions while you are out.  
When the reception mode is set to ANS., the answering machine will  
automatically answer incoming calls and play your outgoing message. Voice  
callers can leave a message just as with any regular answering machine. If the  
call is a fax transmission, the FO-475 will automatically receive it.  
Recording an Outgoing Message  
The outgoing message (OGM) is the greeting which is played after the  
machine answers a call to inform callers that they can leave a message or  
send a fax.  
The answering machine has a general message box and three personal  
message boxes. To use the answering machine, you must record an OGM for  
the general box. To use a personal box, you must record an OGM for that box.  
Example of an OGM for the general box:  
"Hello, this is the Jones family. We are not at home right now. If you would  
like to leave a general message, please speak after the beep. If you would like  
to leave a private message, press "1" for John, "2" for Jane, or "3" for Billy  
before the beep. If you would like to send a fax, press your facsimile Start  
button."  
Example of an OGM for a personal box:  
"This is Jane’s personal box. Please leave a message after the beep."

you must first erase some or all of the stored messages.  
Note: In ANS. mode, the machine will automatically switch to fax  
reception if it detects a period of silence longer than six seconds after  
answering a call. For this reason, if a caller pauses for this length of time  
while leaving a message, they will be cut off and hear fax reception tones.

Fax reception on ANS. failure  
If the memory for recording incoming messages becomes full while you are  
out, the answering machine will no longer be able to record messages. The  
ON ANS. FAILURE setting is used to choose the response of the machine to  
incoming calls when this happens:  
Automatic fax reception NO: The FO-475 will answer after 20 rings,  
after which it will wait to receive a remote command. Most callers will  
hang up before it answers; however, when you call the FO-475 from a  
remote location, you can wait until it answers, listen to your messages,  
and then erase them (see Remote Operations in this chapter).  
Automatic fax reception YES: The reception mode will switch to FAX  
mode, allowing the FO-475 to continue to receive faxes automatically  
without broadcasting an OGM on answering. With this setting, you can  
still use the remote commands to listen to your messages and erase the  
message memory (see Remote Operations in this chapter).  
Automatic fax reception is set to NO at the factory before shipping. If you  
want to set it to YES, press the panel keys as follows:

Transfer Function  
Transfer Function  
The Transfer function is used to make the FO-475 automatically call you at a  
specified number every time it receives an incoming message in a selected  
box. This allows you to hear your messages immediately after they come in,  
even when you are at a remote location.  
When you answer the telephone, you will hear your recorded message telling  
you that the call is a transfer call. Enter "#", the box number, the box’s  
passcode (or your remote code number if the box has no passcode), and "#".  
The FO-475 will then play back your messages. You can also perform any of  
the remote operations described in Remote Operations in this chapter.  
Note: When you hang up after a transfer call, the FO-475 will not  
immediately resume normal operation. If you want the FO-475 to accept  
calls immediately after a transfer call, enter " " twice before hanging up  
(if you want to hang up during message playback, first enter " 0" and " #"  
to stop playback, then enter " " twice).  
Programming the transfer number  
To use the Transfer function, you must first give the FO-475 the number to

Override Ringing  
Override Ringing  
This function allows selected callers using a touch-tone telephone to override  
the answering machine’s outgoing message and cause the FO-475 to make a  
special ringing sound, alerting you that they are calling. This is useful when  
you are near the machine but only want to talk with certain callers, taking all  
other calls on the answering machine.  
Programming the override code  
To override the answering machine, your callers must enter a 3-digit override  
code from their telephone. This code has been set to "009" at the factory. If  
you want to change it, press the panel keys as shown below.  
Important!  
Make sure the override code is different from the remote code or any  
passcodes programmed for boxes.

3 The FO-475 will make a special ringing  
sound. Pick up the handset to answer the  
call. (Note that an extension telephone  
connected to the same line will not ring.)  
If you do not answer within 30 seconds,  
the outgoing message will play again  
and the caller can then leave a message.

You can call the FO-475 from any tone dial telephone and play back your  
messages using the remote commands. You can also use these commands to  
change the reception mode and other settings.  
Remote code number  
When you call the FO-475, you must enter the passcode for the box you want  
to listen to, or a remote code number if the box does not have a passcode.  
One remote code number can be programmed, and it is used to access all  
boxes which do not have passcodes. This prevents unauthorized people from  
listening to your messages. You can use any 3-digit number as the remote

Toll Saver  
When you call the FO-475 to listen to your messages, it will answer after two  
rings if it has received at least one message in any of the boxes, or after four  
rings if no messages are received.  
This allows you to save money on telephone charges, particularly if you are  
calling long distance. If the machine does not answer after the second ring,  
you can simply hang up before it answers, saving yourself the cost of that call.  
If you do not want to use the Toll Saver function, you can turn it off by  
following the steps below. In this case, the FO-475 will answer after the  
number of rings set with Option Setting 2 (see Chapter 8), the ring setting for

Retrieving your messages  
Follow the steps below to listen to your messages from a remote location.  
Note that you can only access one box per call; if you want to access more  
than one box, you must make a separate call for each box.  
Note: You can also access the FO-475 for remote operation when the  
reception mode is set to FAX or TEL/FAX. In this case, call the FO-475,  
press the "#" key immediately after it answers, or during pseudo ringing in  
TEL/FAX mode (before you hear the fax tone in either case), and then  
continue from Step 2 below.  
1 Call the FO-475 from a touch-tone  
telephone. When your outgoing message  
begins, press the "#" key on the telephone.  
You will hear a short beep, and the  
outgoing message will stop.  
2 Enter the number of the box you want to  
listen to. If you want to listen to the  
2
General Box, skip this step.  
(Example)

machine will then play back the  
messages, beeping once at the end of  
each message. When all messages have  
been played back, you will hear a long  
beep.

messages first, they will be saved and  
any new messages will be recorded  
after them. If you want the FO-475 to  
resume normal operation immediately,  
press " " twice before hanging up (in  
some cases, particularly when the  
Transfer function is used, the FO-475  
may not accept new calls for one or  
two minutes after you hang up unless  
you first press " " twice).  
Comments:  
When a remote command is accepted by the machine, you will hear one  
beep. If an incorrect command is entered, you will hear four beeps. In the  
latter case, re-enter the correct command.  
When entering a command, do not pause longer than 10 seconds between  
each digit. If you do, a 4-beep error signal will be issued and the digits  
entered up to that point will be disregarded. In this case, re-enter the  
command from the beginning.  
If you make two errors (causing two 4-beep signals to be issued) while  
entering your remote code number, the line will be disconnected. This  
prevents unauthorized people from attempting to guess your remote code  
number.  
If you pause for longer than 60 seconds before entering a command, you will  
be disconnected.

A lithium battery keeps automatic dialling numbers in memory  
The machine uses a lithium battery to keep automatic dialing numbers and  
other programmed data in memory when the power is turned off. Battery  
power is consumed primarily when the power is off. With the power kept  
continuously off, the life of the battery is about 5 years. If the battery dies,  
have your dealer or retailer replace it. Do not try to replace it yourself.

When the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX, your fax automatically answers  
all calls on 2 rings (See Option Setting 2 in Chapter 8). After answering, your  
fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.  
If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically  
dialled fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming  
document.  
If your fax doesn’t detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice  
call or manually dialled fax), it will make a ringing sound (called pseudo  
ringing) for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don’t answer  
within this time, your fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to  
allow the calling party to send a fax manually if they desire.  
Comments:  
Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo  
ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the  
connection has been made.  
The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 8. See  
Chapter 8, Option Settings.

Viewing the Caller ID list  
If you subscribe to a Caller ID service and have turned on the Caller ID  
function, your fax machine will keep information on the most recent 20  
unanswered calls and/or unsuccessful faxes you have received. You can view  
this information, which consists of the name and number of each caller, in the  
Caller ID List.  
Note: For all units installed in New Zealand, the direct use of the displayed  
number for call back does not operate properly and must not be used. It is  
necessary to manually enter the verified correct number for the party  
called. This will often require the addition or deletion of leading digits from  
the number shown on the display when dialling manually.  
After you have received 20 unanswered calls, each new call will delete  
the oldest call.

you have specified as a "Junk Number", your fax will break the connection as  
soon as it receives the calling phone number from the caller ID service  
(before the third ring).  
To use this function, set Option Setting 13 to YES as described in Chapter 8,

Distinctive Ring  
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company,  
you will need to turn on the distinctive ring function. When this is done, your  
fax machine will signal voice calls by the normal ring pattern, and fax  
transmissions by a special ring pattern. In the case of a fax transmission, your  
fax machine will automatically answer the call and receive the fax.  
The distinctive ring function is used with the reception mode set to FAX or  
ANS.. When your fax number is dialled, your fax machine will signal the call  
with a special ringing sound, then answer automatically and begin reception  
after the number of rings set with Option Setting 2 (the factory setting is 2  
rings). When your voice number is dialled, the fax machine will signal the  
call with the normal ringing to alert you to answer the call or allow the  
answering machine to take the call (when in ANS. mode).  
The factory setting is "NO". If set to "YES", both Australian (Fax Duet) and  
New Zealand (FaxAbility) Distinctive Ring are supported.  
Important:  
The distinctive ring function can only be used if you subscribe to a  
distinctive ring service from your telephone company. Do not turn on  
distinctive ring if you are on a normal line, as the fax machine will not  
operate properly.  
If you turn on distinctive ring, the fax will not operate in TEL/FAX

a polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 14, as described in  
Chapter 8, Option Settings. (Note that when Rapid Key 10/POLL is set as a  
polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)

Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)  
Turnaround polling  
After polling a fax machine, you can send a document to that machine on the  
same connection. Simply place the document to be sent in the feeder and  
follow the steps described above in "Requesting transmission". When polling  
is finished, the document will be automatically transmitted.  
The other fax machine must also have Turnaround Polling capability.  
Turnaround Polling cannot be performed when a timer transmission  
operation is set.  
Being polled (polling standby)  
To let another fax machine poll your machine, simply set the reception mode  
to FAX, and load the document(s) to be sent.  
Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your machine  
and activates polling. Automatic reception is possible whilst your fax is on  
polling standby.  
Polling security  
Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your machine.  
When this function is turned on, polling will only take place when the fax  
number of the polling fax machine has been entered in your machine’s list of  
permitted fax numbers (called "passcode numbers"). The number of the  
polling fax must also be correctly programmed into itself for identification.  
To use Polling Security, follow the steps below to turn the function on, and  
then enter permitted numbers as shown on the following page.

Memory  
Memory  
Your fax has a memory which can be used to temporarily store both  
incoming and outgoing documents.  
Approximately 20 pages of average content can be held in memory  
when no voice messages (including outgoing messages) have been  
recorded. Less can be held if any pages were scanned using fine or  
halftone resolution.  
To see the percentage of memory that is currently occupied, press the  
START/MEMORY key with no document in the feeder. The  
percentage will appear in the display.  
Sending documents from memory  
With this function, the original document is scanned immediately, stored in  
memory, and then transmitted once the connection to the receiving machine  
is made. This is convenient when transmitting to places where the line is  
often busy, as it saves you from waiting to collect the original document and  
frees the feeder for other operations.  
Only one memory transmission can be set at a time.  
The amount of memory currently occupied appears as a percentage in  
the display while the document is being scanned.
