A facsimile device includes an automatic receiving function, in which, after the facsimile device is connected to a line, users can store a match pattern suitable for the connected line. At the stage of production of this facsimile device, no match pattern for an automatic receive mode is stored in this facsimile device, or alternatively, several match patterns corresponding to ringing signals employed in several countries are stored independent of destinations of the facsimile device. This facsimile device includes a characteristic setting mode. In this characteristic setting mode, this facsimile device detects a ringing signal from the line connected thereto and determines characteristic values of the detected ringing signal. The facsimile device sets the determined characteristic values in a match pattern employed in practice for determining whether or not there is a ring to call the facsimile device in the automatic receive mode. Thus, even if installed in any of a plurality of countries, or connected to a PBX that outputs an extraordinary ringing signal, this facsimile device can perform the automatic receiving function.
