Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide Choosing a Location Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket, grounded power outlet.
IMPORTANT: If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard.
Using Extension Telephones It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to the machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call.
Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.
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. We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. 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.) We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes.
