F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)6
If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you 
need to decide how long the machine will 
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring 
when you have a voice call. If its a fax call, 
the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the 
initial ringing from the phone company. Only 
the machine rings and no other phones on the 
same line will ring with the special 
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still 
answer the call on any...

Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as 
part of a number stored in a Speed-Dial 
location. When programming the Speed-
Dial number (Menu, 2, 3, 1 or 2, 3, 2) 
press Tel/R first (the screen displays “!”) 
then enter the telephone number. If you do 
this, you do not need to press Tel/R each 
time before you dial using a Speed-Dial 
location. (See Storing Speed-Dial 
numbers on page 41.) However, if PBX is 
not selected in the Phone Line Type 
setting, you cannot use...

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...

7 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.
aRecord 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.)
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with 
an initial 5-second silence because...

Using extension telephones 
(For U.K. only)7
Your premises may already be wired with 
parallel extension telephones, or you may 
plan to add extension telephones to your line, 
as well as your machine. While the simplest 
arrangement is a straightforward parallel 
connection, there are some problems with 
this arrangement, the most obvious of which 
is inadvertent...

7 Using a cordless external 
telephone7
If your cordless telephone is connected to the 
telephone line cord (See External and 
extension phones on page 37) and you 
typically carry the cordless handset 
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during 
the Ring Delay. 
If you let the machine answer first, you will 
have to go to the machine so you can press 
Tel/R to send the call to the cordless handset.
