On the FAX-525DT, set the Answer Mode to TAD:MSG MGR.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line––your machine
and TAD will both try to control the line.
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message.
1 Record four 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 Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone
answering device (ideally less than 10 seconds).
