Connecting an external 

TAD (telephone 

answering device)

7

You can connect an external Telephone 
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as 
your machine. When the TAD answers a call, 
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax 
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. 
If it hears them it will take over the call and 
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will 
let your TAD take a voice message and the 
display will show 

Telephone

.

The external TAD must answer within four 
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings). 
This is because your machine cannot hear 
the CNG tones until the external TAD has 
picked up the call. The sending machine will 
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds 
longer. We do not recommend using the toll 
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs 
more than four rings to activate it.

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

 

1 TAD

Note

If you have problems receiving faxes, 
reduce the ring delay setting on your 
external TAD.
