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 LCD will show [Telephone].
We recommend the external TAD answers within 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.

DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the same telephone line.
If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.
