Recording the TAD*s Outgoing Message (OGM)_________
The tad ' s outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two
kinds of fax receptions; automatic and manual. Timing is important.
1. Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning of your message. (Your MFC will be
able to hear the fax calling tones, of automatic fax 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:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing *51.”
NOTE: Do not assume that most callers send faxes automatically. Many people do
not realize they are not sending fax tones when they lift the handset or press
the Hook key. Also, some machines may not send fax tones.
Troubleshooting_____________________________________ ________
Sometimes other equipment on your phone line reserves a key that is in the
Activation or Deactivation code. (Some answering machines reserve the key.) If
the code you use to retrieve messages from your answering machine causes the line
to be disconnected, try changing the Remote Codes. Change *51 to ### and #51 to 999.
The Remote Activation and Deactivation Codes may not work with some telephone
systems or telephone sets.
D) DISTINCTIVE RINGING
Distinctive Ringing
What Is Distinctive Ringing?
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by the telephone carriers that allows you to have
several different numbers on one phone line, so you can have a separate number for your
MFC. Each number has its own distinctive ringing pattern. This way, when you get an
incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring. Your local telephone
company can provide more information about this service. The service is usually offered
as a monthly charge to your normal telephone bill.
What Is the Advantage of Using the Distinctive Ringing Function?
Using Distinctive Ringing is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls
on the same line. It is much easier for yom: callers who dial manually. The MFC will
answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code or wait 30
seconds to hear fax tones (F/T mode). And the people who call to talk on your main
number, will not have to talk to your MFC. Basically, it gives you two independent
numbers without the higher cost of a second line.
