C) CONNECTING A TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE
(TAD)
The TAD Mode
When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will answer all the
incoming calls. Your Brother fax machine will listen in on the line for fax CNG tones. If it hears
them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does not hear fax tones, it will
let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings (2 rings are recommended). The fax machine can not hear
the CNG calling tones until the TAD answers the call. With 4 rings, only 8-10 seconds of CNG
calling tones are left for the “handshake”. So you must strictly follow the instructions for
recording the OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD’s memory is full
it will not answer incoming calls (fax or voice).
