APPENDIX A   

A - 10

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.

When you are using a TAD, the LCD shows 

Ext. Tel in Use

.

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.)

Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the TAD must be 
connected to the EXT jack of the machine.
