Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows
the fax machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 51 and Start.”
When you leave your fax machine set in TAD mode, all calls will be answered by the
externally connected telephone answering device. Fax calls will be received
automatically if they come from a machine that sends standard Calling tones (CNG).
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because
the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may
try omitting this pause, but if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must
rerecord the OGM to include it.
