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 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.

Recording an outgoing 
message (OGM) on an 
external TAD

7

Timing is important in recording this 
message. The message sets up the ways to 
handle both manual and automatic fax 
reception.

a

Record 5 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.)

b

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

c

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 

l

5 1

 (

l

9 1

 for New 

Zealand) and Start.”
