Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message.
1
Record four seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine
time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone answering device (ideally less
than 10 seconds).
3
End your message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For
example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing 51.”
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some
fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they
must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
Sequence of External TAD Reception
When you leave your machine set in TAD mode, all calls will be answered by the externally
connected telephone answering device, and fax calls will be received automatically provided they
come from a machine which sends standard Calling tone (CNG).
