  • Page 14 Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You may wish to connect an external answering machine. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.

  • Page 15: Connecting An External Or Extension Telephone

    Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.) We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes.
