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 machine 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 machine
cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud
voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if
your machine has trouble receiving, then you
must re-record the OGM to include it.
Special line
considerations
Roll over phone lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or
more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or “rolled
over” to the next available phone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not
put the machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call would be
transferred to a line that does not have a fax
machine. Your machine will work best on a
dedicated line.
Two-line phone system
A two-line phone system is nothing more than
two separate phone numbers on the same
wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be
on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into
one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in
a two-line phone and see if it can access both
lines. If it can, you must separate the line for
your machine. (See Easy Receive on page
4-3.)
