answering device)

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)

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex 
adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into 
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two 
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a 
third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your 
machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into 
L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on 
Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.
