If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being
activated each time a telephone call is received.
As Mth all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your line
has more than two Mres, proper connection of the fax machine cannot be made.
If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX:
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circum­
stances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the
company that handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL, All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
1^^ The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.

Sequence
Your fax machine has a built-in answering system, but you might choose to
connect an additional answering system. When you have an external TAD on
the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all calls. The fax
machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it heare them, the fax machine
takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax
machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings (the recommended setting is 2 rings), The
fax machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and
with 4 rings there are only 8-10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “hand­
shake.” Make sure you carefully follow instmctions in this manual for recording
your outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the TAD.
