Connecting an external 
TAD (telephone 

answering device)

7

You may choose to connect an external 
answering device. However, when you have 
an 

external

 TAD on the same telephone line 

as the machine, the TAD answers all calls 
and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) 
tones. If it hears them, the machine takes 
over the call and receives the fax. If it does 
not hear CNG tones, the 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 
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, 

shorten 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 
telephone line. (See the illustration 
below.)
