A - 6
The TAD must answer within four rings (the
recommended setting is two rings). The
machine cannot hear CNG tones until the
TAD has answered the call, and with four
rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG
tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this
guide for recording your outgoing message.
We do not recommend using the toll saver
feature on your external answering machine if
it exceeds five rings.
Note
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce
the Ring Delay setting on your external
TAD.
If You Subscribe to your Telephone
Company’s Distinctive Ring Service:
You may connect an external TAD to a
separate wall jack only if you subscribe to
your telephone company’s Distinctive
Ring service, have registered the
distinctive ring pattern on your machine,
and use that number as a fax number. The
recommended setting is at least four rings
on the external TAD when you have the
telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver
setting.
If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive
Ring Service:
You must plug your TAD into the EXT.
jack of your machine. If your TAD is
plugged into a wall jack, both your
machine and the TAD will try to control the
phone line. (See illustration below.)
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows
Ext. Tel in Use.
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the
back of the machine, into the jack labeled
EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if
you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you
are using Distinctive Ring).
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your
external TAD into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make
sure this cord is connected to the TAD at
the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not
its handset jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
4
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
Improper Setup
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring,
do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.
