Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax machine and TAD will both try to control the line.

EXT

.

LINE

You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your fax machine and use that number as a fax number and set your fax machine’s Answer mode to

MANUAL.

Connections

The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the fax machine, into the jack labeled EXT. Your fax machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack.

1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the fax machine, in the jack labeled LINE.

2Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the

fax machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)

3Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The fax machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply).

4Record the outgoing message (see next page).

5Set the TAD to answer calls.

6Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.
