Connecting an external
TAD
7
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
Note
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD to one or two rings.
Connections 7
The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the illustration below.
1TAD
a Set your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay
setting does not apply.)
b Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
c Set the TAD to answer calls.
d Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the
receive mode on page 39.)
Recording an outgoing
message 7
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
c 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 l51 (l91 for
New Zealand) and Start.”
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code
l51. See Using remote codes on page
57.
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
