Chapter 7
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.
Note
If you do not receive all your faxes, cut the
Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.
Improper Setup
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.

When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone.

b
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
c
Set the TAD to answer calls.
d
Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the

Recording outgoing message (OGM)
on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this
message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax
reception.
1
a
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
1
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
b
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.
