Telephone and external devices

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 Receive modes
on page 39.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM) 7
aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
cEnd your 20-second message by giving
your Remote Activation code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing l51 and Start.”
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
code l51. (See Using remote codes
on page 50.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
Multi-line connections (PBX) 7
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.
