PREPARATION
AND SIMPLE USE
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual
and automatic fax reception.
1
We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds.
2
Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.)
3
We recommend that you end your OGM 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 ( 91 for New
Zealand) and Fax Start.”
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some
fax machines do not send a fax tone if the call is manually dialled. In these cases you must inform
callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
Connecting an External Telephone
Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can
also connect a separate telephone to your FAX/MFC, as shown below.
Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if
the FAX/MFC’s handset is lifted, an alarm sounds.
To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the FAX/MFC, lift the handset and press
Hook.
