(Example for U.K.)

2Set the number of rings to one or two on your external TAD. (The fax machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

3Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see below).

4Set the external TAD to answer calls.

5Set MESSAGE STORE (Function menu 8-1) to VOICE:EXT. (Only for FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail)

6Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. (Only for FAX- 920 and MFC-925)

On the FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail, set the Answer Mode to

TAD:MSG MGR.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line––your machine and TAD will both try to control the line.

Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

Timing is important in recording this message.

1Record four 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.)

2Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone answering device (ideally less than 10 seconds).
