Connecting an External

Telephone Answering Device (TAD)

Sequence

You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.

The TAD must answer within four rings. The fax machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing message.

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