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

Connections

The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC 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/MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.

2Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side 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, and not its telephone set jack.)

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

4Record the outgoing message (see below).

5Set the TAD to answer calls.

6Set Message Storage ( Function , 8 , 1 ) to VOICE:EXT. (For FAX 870MC and MFC 970MC only).

7Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. (For FAX 750 and FAX 770 only.)

On the FAX 870MC and MFC 970MC, set the Answer Mode to MC:MSG CTR.
