Connecting an Answering Machine
88
Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."
♦
Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too
long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic
dialing.
♦
If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a
pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This
will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic
dialing is used.
