Improper Setup
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.
Connections 7
The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the previous illu stration.
aSet your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
bRecord the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
cSet the TAD to answer calls.
dSet the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the
Receive Mode on page 28.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM) on an
external TAD 7
Timing is important in recording th is
message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax
reception.
aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5-second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try
omitting this pause, but if your machine
has trouble receiving faxes, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.
Multi-Line connection s
(PABX) 7
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our machines be
connected to a discreet (dedicated) line.
Although a particular PABX may appear to
work with a particular model of fax machine,
we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate
correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.
