service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone 
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own 
distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is 
ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for 
your machine.

Using a cordless external handset
If the base unit of your cordless telephone is connected (see page 
A-4) and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is 
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the machine

Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless handset.

APPENDIX A   A - 5
Connecting an external telephone answering 
device (TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an additional 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...

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up 
the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. 
(This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones 
of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second 
silence because the machine cannot hear...

A - 8   APPENDIX A
Using extensi on telephones (For U.K. only)
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension 
telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, 
in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is 
straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to 
why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most 
obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile 
transmission by someone picking up an extension...
