Connect an External TAD

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw
The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the machine, into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot
work correctly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
1. Plug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the back of the machine, in the jack labeled
LINE.
2. Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back of the machine, in the jack labeled EXT.
(Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack, and not its handset jack.)
3. Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.)
4. Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.
5. Set the TAD to answer calls.
6. Set the Receive Mode on your machine to External TAD.

Record an Outgoing Message (OGM) on the External TAD

1. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax
tones.
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. 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 press *51 and Start to send a fax."
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 faxes, then
you should re-record the OGM to include it .

Multi-line Connections (PBX)

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw
We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system
we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the machine being
activated each time the system receives telephone calls. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard
operator we recommend setting the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will operate correctly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX.
Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company who handles your PBX.
