PREPARING A TAD FOR USE WITH THE AFX-300
Setting the TAD’s Ring Number
The AFX-300 is preset to direct a call to either the FAX or MO- DEM jack after five rings. When you use a TAD with the AFX- 300, be sure the TAD is set to answer within four rings. If it is not, either change the ring number on the TAD to 4, or change the ring number on the AFX-300 to at least one number higher than the TAD’s ring number (see “Special Features” on Page 26).
Changing the Outgoing Message
Some fax machines/fax modems do not sound the tones re- quired to make the AFX-300 automatically switch the call and start your fax machine/fax modem (see “Switching Fax Calls Manually” on Page 24). If you connected a TAD to the AFX- 300, we recommend you change the TAD’s outgoing message to include instructions for callers with that type of fax machine/ fax modem, or for those callers who might want to both leave a voice message and send a fax during the call.
