Connecting an external 
TAD
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...

7 Recording an outgoing 
message (OGM)7
aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the 
beginning of your message. This allows 
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with 
an initial 5 second silence because the 
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud 
voice. You may try leaving out this pause, 
but if your machine has trouble receiving, 
then you should re-record the OGM to 
include it.

For Fax/Tel mode only7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will 
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and 
then press Tel/R to answer.
If you’re at an extension telephone, you will 
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring 
Time and then press #51 between the 
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, 
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send 
the call back to the machine by pressing l51....
