IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
The following operational information should be included in our Owner’s Manual.
— PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING —
1) USING THE TAD INTERFACE FOR TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE
HOOK-UP (ADDENDUM TO PAGE 9-5 FOR MODEL INTELLIFAX 600/
650M OWNER'S MANUAL).
In some cases, your fax may not be able to detect a phone call from a fax call until after your answering
machine has completely played the outgoing message. This is a standard telecommunication protocol and
not a product problem.
Therefore, the following procedure must be followed when you connect your fax with a telephone
answering device (TAD)....
STEP 1) The number of rings on your telephone answering device, if adjustable, should be set to its
lowest value (less than 4 rings).
STEP 2) The outgoing message on your telephone answering device, should be recorded at less than
20 seconds in length.
For best operation, we recommend a five second blank area in the beginning of the outgoing
message.
A calling fax unit will send a calling tone for only 35 seconds after it dials your telephone/fax number.
Therefore, in order for your telephone answering device to pick-up, the length of your outgoing message
plus the number of rings of your answering device should not exceed 35 seconds.
2) RADIO STATION INTERFERENCE (ADDENDUM TO PAGE 10-1 FOR
MODEL INTELLIFAX 600/650M OWNER'S MANUAL).
With the number of cellular phones and microwave towers, it is possible that you may experience radio
station noise while using your fax handset as a telephone (depending on your geographic location in
relation to these towers).
If you experience this handset noise, simply us the following information to FAX # (908) 469-4547.

We will then immediately contact you with an easy, no cost solution for your location.
