Setting up your area code (USA only)
7
When returning calls from the caller ID history
your machine will automatically dial “1” plus
the area code for all calls. If your local dialing
plan requires that the “1” not be used for calls
within your area code enter your area code in
this setting. With the area code setting, calls
returned from the caller ID history to your
area code will be dialed using 10 digits (area
code + 7-digit number). If your dialing plan
does not follow the standard 1 + area code +
7-digit number dialing system for calling
outside your area code, you may experience
problems returning calls automatically from
the caller ID history. If this is not the
procedure followed by your dialing plan, you
will not be able to return calls automatically.

Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device)
7
You may choose to connect an external
answering device. However, when you have
an
external
TAD on the same telephone line
as the machine, the TAD 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 does
not hear CNG tones, the 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
recommended setting is two rings). The
machine cannot hear CNG tones until the
TAD 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.
Note
• If you do not receive all your faxes,
shorten the Ring Delay setting on your
external TAD.
•
If You Subscribe to your Telephone
company's Distinctive Ring Service:
You may connect an external TAD to a
separate wall jack only if you subscribe to
your telephone company's Distinctive
Ring service, have registered the
distinctive ring pattern on your machine,
and use that number as a fax number. The
recommended setting is at least four rings
on the external TAD when you have the
telephone company's Distinctive Ring
Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver
setting.
