Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

3
Set the TAD to answer calls.

Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external
TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets
up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your
message. (This allows the fax machine time to listen for the
fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line
.
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over
a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but
if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.
