INSTALLATION
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your FAX/MFC
and TAD will both try to control the line.
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the
jack labeled EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into
a wall jack.
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the
FAX/MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the
FAX/MFC, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected
to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set
jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring
Delay setting does not apply).
4
Record the outgoing message (see below).
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
6

(For FAX 750 and FAX 770 only.)
On the FAX 870MC and MFC 970MC, set the Answer Mode to
