  • Page 14: Advice For Preparation And Simple User Guide

    Advice for Preparation and Simple User Guide Choosing a Location Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket, grounded power outlet.

  • Page 15: Connecting The Power Cord

    Connecting the Power Cord • This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug. • Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to the machine on when you connect it to a telephone line.

  • Page 16: Connecting An External Telephone Answering Device (Tad)

    Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You might choose to connect an additional 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 17: 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.
