FAX MACHINE SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Connecting an External

Telephone Answering Device (TAD)

Sequence

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

hears 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 four rings. The fax machine cannot hear CNG

tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only

8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make sure you

carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing

message.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax machine

and TAD will both try to control the line.
