Recording the TAD's Outgoing Message (OGM)
The TAD's outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two
kinds of fax receptions: automatic and manual. Timing is important.
1. Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning of your message. (Your MFC machine
will be able to hear the fax calling tones, of automatic fax transmissions, before they
stop.)
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. End your 20 second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people
sending manual faxes:
"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing $51."
NOTE: Do not assume that most callers send faxes automatically. Many people do not
realize they are not sending fax tones when they lift the handset or press the
Hook key. Also, some machines may not send fax tones.
