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, shorten
the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.
1TAD
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Ext. Tel in Use.
Improper Setup
DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same telephone line.
