IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the 
same telephone line.
Settings 6
The external TAD must be connected as 
shown in the previous illustration.
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 Choose the 
Receive Mode on page 25.)
Recording an outgoing 
message (OGM) on an 
external TAD 6
Timing is important in recording this 
message.
a 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.)
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
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.
Multi-line connections (PBX) 6
We suggest you ask the company who 
installed your PBX to connect your machine. 
If you have a multi line system we suggest 
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the 
last line on the system. This prevents the 
machine being activated each time the 
system receives telephone calls. If all 
incoming calls will be answered by a 
switchboard operator we recommend that 
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will 
operate correctly under all circumstances 
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties 
with sending or receiving faxes should be 
reported first to the company who handles 
your PBX.
Note
Make sure the Telephone Line Type is set 
to PBX. (See Setting the Telephone Line 
Type on page 30.)
