Example:
Telephone answering device: rings = 4.
Express II: RINGS UNTIL ANSWER = 6.
Calling Express II with TAD Enabled
To have the Express II answer the phone with a
Telephone Answering Device on the same line, call
the unit’s telephone number and let the line ring once,
then hang up. Wait several seconds and then call
back again. The Express II will answer the line on
the first ring, bypassing your answering machine.
Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a
second call (within 30 seconds), signals the Express
II to answer your incoming call, excluding the
telephone answering device.
NOTE: If the Express II unit shares the same tele-
phone line with a Telephone Answering Device, and
during certain time periods frequent incoming calls
are expected on that line, then you may want to tem-
porarily disable the TAD feature. If you leave the TAD
enabled, it will not adversely affect normal operation,
but if two outside telephone calls are received within
the same 30 second time window, the Express II unit
will interpret this pattern as a signal to answer the tele-
phone. If this occurs, press the ALARM/CANCEL key
on the unit to hang up.
