Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as
part of a number stored in a Speed Dial
location. When programming the
Speed Dial number press Tel/R first (the
screen displays “!”), then enter the
telephone number. If you do this, you do
not need to press Tel/R each time before
you dial using a Speed Dial location. (See
Storing Speed Dial numbers on page 44.)
However, if PBX is not chosen in the
Telephone Line Type setting, you cannot
use the Speed Dial number that Tel/R
press is programmed into.
Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device)
7
You may choose to connect an external
answering device. However, when you have
an external TAD on the same telephone line
as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and
the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG)
tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over
the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear
CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD
continue playing your outgoing message so
your caller can leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the
recommended setting is two rings). The
machine cannot hear CNG tones until the
TAD has answered the call, and with four
rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG
tones left for the fax ‘handshake’. Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this
guide for recording your outgoing message.
We do not recommend using the toll saver
feature on your external answering machine if
it exceeds five rings.
Note
If you do not receive all your faxes, cut the
Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.
