Recording Outgoing Message (Ogm) On An External Tad; Custom Features On Your Phone Line - Brother MFC-8420 User Manual

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
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of
automatic 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. For example:
"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
51 ( 91 for New Zealand) and Start."
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the MFC cannot hear fax tones over a resonant
or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your MFC has
trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.

Custom features on your phone line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering
service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone line
it may create a problem with the operation of your MFC. (See
Custom features on a single line. on page 22-13.)
