Connections
The external TAD must be connected as shown above.
1
Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The fax machine’s
Ring Delay setting does not apply.)
2
Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.
3
Set the TAD to answer calls.
4
Set the Receive Mode to
TAD:ANSWER MACH..
Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD
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 the fax machine time to listen for the
fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.
Before you connect the external telephone answering
machine, remove the protective film from the EXT. jack on the
machine.
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over
a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but
if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.
