Telephone.
Connections
The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the previous illustration.

rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay
setting does not apply.)
2
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
3

(See Choosing the Receive Mode on

Recording outgoing message (OGM)
on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this
message.
1 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.)
2
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.
Custom features on your
phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering
service, an alarm system EFTPOS, PC/FAX
modem or other custom feature on one
phone line it may create a problem with the
operation of your machine. (See Custom
features on a single line. on page 11-12.)
Improper Setup
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.
