Connections
The external TAM must be plugged into the back of the machine, into
the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug
the TAM into a wall jack (unless you are using Unique Ring).
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of
the machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAM into the
back of the machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this
cord is connected to the TAM at the TAM’s telephone
line jack,
and not its telephone jack.)
3
Set your external TAM to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring
Count setting does not apply.)
4
Record the outgoing message on your external TAM.
5
Set the TAM to answer calls.
6
Set the Answer Mode to
External TAM
.
(See Choosing the Answer Mode on page 5-1.)
Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAM
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 your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones
of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code
for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
51 and Start.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your
machine has trouble receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM
to include it.
