Improper Setup
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the
TAD must be connected to the EXT jack of
the machine.
1TAD
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone.
Connections 6
The external TAD must be plugged into the
jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work
properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack
(unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
aPlug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the jack labeled
LINE.
bPlug the telephone line cord from the
external TAD into the jack labeled EXT.
(Make sure this cord is connected to the
TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack,
and not its handset jack.)
cSet your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
dRecord the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
eSet the TAD to answer calls.
fSet the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the
Receive Mode on page 34.)
Recording outgoing message (OGM)
on an external TAD 6
Timing is important in recording this
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.
cEnd your 20-second message by giving
your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
‘After the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing l51 and Start.’
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, then you must re-
record the OGM to include it.
