Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the FAX/MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack.
1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of the FAX/MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
2 Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the back of the FAX/MFC, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack (not to telephone set jack).)
3 Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

Outgoing Message (OGM)
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your FAX/
MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

Connecting an External Telephone
Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your FAX/MFC.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the back of the FAX/MFC.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the FAX/MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call and switch to the FAX/MFC, press Speaker Phone.
