Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the way your
external TAD handles both manual and automatic fax reception.
1 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows
your FAX/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 Remote Activation Code for
people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone.
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering
device) directly to your FAX/MFC.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT.
on the left side of the FAX/MFC.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays “EXT. TEL IN USE,”
and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the
external phone and switch to the fax, press
Speaker Phone .
