6 Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.. (Only for FAX-T74) On the FAX-T76, set the Answer Mode to TAD:MSG MGR.

Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

Timing is important in recording this message.

1 Record 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.)

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

3 End your message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing 51.”

Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
