Brother FAX-60 - Manual (Page 24)

ill. USING THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD)
A. Recording the Outgoing Message (OGM)
• Press the TAD button
• Press the RECORD button. You will hear a short beep. This button must be held
depressed for the entire time while you are recording the outgoing message. The
RECORD iamp will start blinking. You have 16 seconds in which to record the OGM
(outgoing message). During the last 5 seconds the lamp will blink rapidly. After the 16
seconds the unit will beep again and will stop recording the message. Of course, the
recording will stop prior to 16 seconds if you release the RECORD button.
The FAX-60 is unique among facsimile machines in that a caller, even with a fax message can
hear your voice (provided the TAD is ON). This is illustrated in the sample OGM below:
"This is (your name / company name). Sorry, we are not available now. Leave a message
after the tone. You have 16 seconds for your message. If you wish to send us a
facsimile message, push the
STAR (*) button on your telephone keypad when you hear
our message."
NOTE: The OGM should say "28 seconds" instead of "16 seconds" if you've used the switch on
the lower front of the unit. The timing (i.e., 28 seconds or 16 seconds) refers to the length of
the ICM - the incoming message, i.e., the message left by a caller on your TAD. See below for
more details on the ICM.
When the caller presses the STAR (^) button within five (5) seconds after hearing your OGM,
the FAX-60 will change from TAD mode to facsimile mode. If the STAR
(*) button is not
pushed, the unit will beep and the caller can record a message. After the caller's message is
recorded, the unit beeps again and the
FAX-60 releases the phone line.
If you are present while all of the above is going on, you can hear the entire above operation
using the monitor mode through the speaker.
B. Playback of the OGM
To verify that you've recorded an appropriate message, press the TAD button. The TAD lamp
will light. The OGM message will be heard over the unit's speaker. If you are dissatisfied with
the message, simply press the
RECORD button and the unit will be available for re-recording of
the message.

C. Playing back the callers' messages and voice memos
If someone called your unit and left a message or you and/or a member of your family or
someone in your office left a voice memo, the ICM lamp or the MEMO lamp will light. To
retrieve the message, disengage the TAD by pressing the TAD button (top check this, see
whether the TAD lamp is OFF). Then press the MEMO button. You will hear the recorded
message through the unit's speaker. If there is more than one message, the unit will emit a 3-
second beep between messages.
