If it does not hear the CNG tones, the machine will not take over the call, and messages can be left on the TAD by callers in the normal way. The TAD must answer within a maximum of four rings. However, we rec

PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. 1 We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. 2 Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.) 3 We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for p
