How to Use an External TAD with the Fax __________ ______________
When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will answer all the
incoming calls. Ymir Brother fax machine will listen in on the line for fax CNG tones. If it hears
them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does not hear fax tones, it will
let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings. The fax machine can not hear the CNG calling tones until
the TAD answers the call. When the Ring Delay is set for 4 rings, only 8-10 seconds of CNG calling
tones are left for the “handshake”. So you must strictly follow the instructions for recording your
OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD’s memory is full
it will not answer any incoming calls (fax or voice).
Set your fax machine’s answer mode to TAD (Fax and F/T lights on).
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Connecting an External TAD to the Unit
You may connect an external TAD to your fax machine, as shown below. Use the
“EXT.” jack on your fax machine.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the
same phone line. This will cause
problems because your fax machine and
TAD will both try to control the line.
