Telephone and external devices

Connecting an external

TAD

You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message and the display will show Telephone.

The external TAD must answer within four rings (we recommend you set it to two rings). This is because your machine cannot hear the CNG tones until the external TAD has picked up the call. The sending machine will send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds longer. We do not recommend using the toll 7 saver feature on your external TAD if it needs more than four rings to activate it.

Note

If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the ring delay setting on your external TAD to one or two rings.

Connections

The external TAD must be connected as shown in the illustration below.
