C) CONNECTION TO A TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE
(TAD)
The TAD Mode
When you leave your fax machine set in TAD mode, phone calls will be forwarded to the externally
connected telephone answering device, and yoiir fax calls will be received automatically.
Helpful Hints When You Use TAD Mode
1. You can inform callers beforehand that if they call manually and get your
telephone answering device when they want to send a fax, all they have to do
is press your remote code (*51 unless you have changed it) to activate your fax
machine.
2. Another alternative is to record a TAD message that says, for example, “This
answering machine is connected to a fax unit. If you leave a voice message,
please speak after beep. If you send a fax message, please press (your remote
activation code) after the beep. Thank you.”
3. You need to erase the incoming messages on your external telephone answering
device when it’s full, or TAD mode will not answer any calls, faxes or otherwise.
