FAX MACHINE SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting an External
Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have
an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD
answers all calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it
hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it
doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your
outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within four rings. The fax machine cannot hear CNG
tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only
8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make sure you
carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing
message.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax machine
and TAD will both try to control the line.
