Connecting an Answering Machine Changing the outgoing message The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows: "Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling." ♦ Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing. ♦ If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic dialing is used. Activating the answering machine connection Before you go out, activate the answering machine connection as follows: 1 Set the reception mode to A.M. RECEPTION MODE TEL FAX A.M. 82

Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
“Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling.”
♦
Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too
long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic
dialing.

If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a
pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This
will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic
dialing is used.
