Page 27: Special Line Considerations
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if the fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it. - Page 28 Installing fax machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, the fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD.
