Connecting an external telephone answering
machine (TAM)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when
you have an
external TAM on the same telephone line as the
machine, the TAM answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax
calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call
and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the machine lets
the TAM continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAM must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is
two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAM has
answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds
of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully
follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing
message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your
external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay
setting on your external TAM.
If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company’s Unique Ring
Service:
You may connect an external TAM to a separate wall jack only
if you subscribe to your telephone company’s Unique Ring
service, have registered the unique ring pattern on your
machine, and use that number as a fax number. The
recommended setting is four rings on the external TAM when
you have the telephone company’s Unique Ring Service.
If You Do Not Subscribe to Unique Ring Service:
You must plug your TAM into the EXT. jack of your machine. If
your TAM is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the
TAM will try to control the phone line. (See illustration on the
next page.)
