Chapter 7 Setting up your area code (USA only) 7 When returning calls from the caller ID history your machine will automatically dial "1" plus the area code for all calls. If your local dialing plan requires that the "1" not be used for calls within your area code enter your area code in this setting. With the area code setting, calls returned from the caller ID history to your area code will be dialed using 10 digits (area code + 7-digit number). If your dialing plan does not follow the standard 1 + area code + 7-digit number dialing system for calling outside your area code, you may experience problems returning calls automatically from the caller ID history. If this is not the procedure followed by your dialing plan, you will not be able to return calls automatically. a Press MENU. b Press a or b to display Fax. c Press Fax. d Press a or b to display Miscellaneous. e Press Miscellaneous. f Press Area Code. g Enter your Area Code (3-digit number) using the buttons on the LCD, and press OK. h Press Stop/Exit. Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) 7 You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine 'listens' for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message. 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, shorten the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD. • If You Subscribe to your Telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service: You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, and use that number as a fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting. 66
