Chapter 7 Turning off distinctive ring 7 a Press Menu, 2, 0, 2. 20.Miscellaneous 2.Distinctive a On b Off Select ab or OK b Press a or b to choose Off. Press OK. c Press Stop/Exit. Note If you do not want to receive faxes on your Distinctive Ring number, you can turn off Distinctive Ring. The machine will stay in Manual receive mode so you will need to set the Receive Mode again. (See Choose the correct Receive Mode uu page 30.) Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) 7 You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD answers a call, your machine will "listen" for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message and the display will show Telephone. The external TAD must answer within four rings (we recommend you set it to two rings). This is because your machine cannot hear the CNG tones until the external TAD has picked up the call. The sending machine will send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds longer. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external TAD if it needs more than four rings to activate it. Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the TAD must be connected to the EXT. jack of the machine. Before you connect an external TAD (telephone answering device), remove the protective cap (2) from the EXT. jack on the machine. 1 1 2 1 TAD 2 Protective Cap Note If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the ring delay setting on your external TAD. 40
