Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. TAD TAD Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the side of the fax machine, into the jack labeled EXT. The fax machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring). 1 Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back side of the fax machine, in the jack labeled LINE. 2 Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back side of the fax machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.) 3 Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The fax machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.) 4 Record the outgoing message on your external TAD. 5 Set the TAD to answer calls. 6 Set the Receive Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 5-1.) 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 the fax machine 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 Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: "After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 51 and Start." 1 - 10 Introduction
