Connecting An External Or Extension Telephone - Brother MFC-580 Owner's Manual

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.
1
We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds.
2
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.)
3
We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some
fax machines do not send a fax tone if the call is manually dialled. In these cases you must inform
callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
