Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

Timing is important in recording this message.

1

Record four seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of
automatic transmissions before they stop.)

2

Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone
answering device (ideally less than 10 seconds).
