APPENDIX A   A - 15
Using a cordless external handset
If the base unit of your cordless telephone is connected (see page 
A-16) 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 
Hook to transfer the call to the cordless handset.
Changing the remote codes
Remote activation lets you send commands to your machine from an 
extension or external phone. To use...

APPENDIX A   A - 17
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...

A - 18   APPENDIX A
When you are using a TAD, the LCD shows Telephone.
Connections
The external TAD must be connected as shown above.
1 Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The machine’s Ring 
Delay setting does not apply.)
2Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.
3Set the TAD to answer calls.
4Set the Receive Mode to External TAD.  
(See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 4-1.)

APPENDIX A   A - 19
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.
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.
