ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the
jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD
into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).

Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the FAX/
MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the left side of the
FAX/MFC, 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 set jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring Delay
setting does not apply.)
4
Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see next page).
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
6
Set the Receive Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. (See Choosing the Receive
Mode
, page 5-1.)
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line (unless you have
the Distinctive Ring service).
