Appendix A
A - 6
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone.
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the
back of the MFC, into the jack labeled EXT.
Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug
the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using
Distinctive Ring).
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the
MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your
external TAD into the back of the MFC,
in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this
cord is connected to the TAD at the
TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its
handset jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
4
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
5
Set the TAD to answer calls.
6
Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD
.
(See Choosing the Receive Mode on
page 4-1.)
Recording outgoing message (OGM)
on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this
message.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG
tones of automatic transmissions before
they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
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
51 and Start.”
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with an
initial 5-second silence because the MFC
cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud
voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if
your MFC has trouble receiving, then you
must re-record the OGM to include it.
Improper Setup
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring,
do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line.
