    TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all calls and the fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
  • Page 25 Distinctive Ring Service. If you do not subscribe to Distinctive Ring service: You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of the fax machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your fax machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line.
