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 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.
If you do not receive all your faxes,
shorten the Ring Delay setting on your
external TAD.

When the TAD answers a call, the
Touchscreen shows Telephone.
DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same telephone line.

The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the previous illustration.
a Using both hands, use the finger holds
on each side of the machine to lift the
scanner cover into the open position.
b Carefully guide the telephone line cord
into the cable channel and out the back
of the machine.
c Lift the scanner cover to release the
lock. Gently push the scanner cover
support down and close the scanner
cover using both hands.
d Set your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
e Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
f Set the TAD to answer calls.
g Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choose the
Receive Mode on page 53.)
