Note
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring count setting on your
external TAM.
Connections
7
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).
a
Plug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the back of the
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
b
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 handset jack.)
c
Set your external TAM to four rings or
less. (The machine’s Ring Count setting
does not apply.)
d
Record the outgoing message on your
external TAM.
e
Set the TAM to answer calls.
f
Set the Answer Mode to
External TAM
. (See Choose the
correct Answer Mode on page 50.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM)
7
a
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
c
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
l
51 and Start .”
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
Special line considerations
7
Roll over telephone lines
7
A roll over telephone system is a group of two
or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or “rolled
over” to the next available telephone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not
put the machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call would be
transferred to a line that does not have a fax
machine.
Your machine will work best on a
dedicated line.
