LOCATION AND CONNECTIONS
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the fax machine, into
the jack labeled EXT. Your fax machine 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 machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the
fax machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected
to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack (not to telephone set jack).)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The fax machine’s Ring
Delay setting does not apply).
4
Record the outgoing message (see below).
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
6
Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.
Outgoing Message (OGM)
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 your 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
5 1 and
Start.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your fax machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular
phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone
answering device) directly to your fax machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled
EXT. on the left side of the fax machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN
USE, and, if the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To
disconnect the call and switch to the fax machine, press
Hook
