CONNECTING TO A TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD) RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS

Recording the TAD’s Outgoing Message (OGM)

The TAD’s outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two kinds of fax receptions: automatic and manual. Timing is important.

1.Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning of your message. (Your MFC will be abletohearthefaxcallingtones,ofautomaticfaxtransmissions,beforetheystop.)

2.Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

3.End your 20 second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes:

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing *51.”

NOTE: Do not assume that most callers send faxes automatically. Many people do notrealizetheyarenotsendingfaxtoneswhentheyliftthehandsetorpress the Hook key. Also, some machines may not send fax tones.
