Connections

The external TAD must be plugged into the
back of the machine, into the jack labeled
EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if
you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you
are using Distinctive Ring).
a
Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
b
Plug the telephone line cord from your
external TAD into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make
sure this cord is connected to the TAD at
the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not
its handset jack.)
c
Set your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
d
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
e
Set the TAD to answer calls.
f
Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choose the
correct Receive Mode on page 46.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM)
7
a
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
c
End your 20-second message by giving
your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or
press l51 and Start to send a fax.”
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.
