A - 13 APPENDIX A
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the machine, 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).
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the
back of the machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the
back of the machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this
cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack,
and not its telephone jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring
Delay setting does not apply.)
4
Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
6
Set the Receive Mode to

(See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 4-1.)
Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up
the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 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.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End 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
51 and Start.”
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.
