Recording an outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

1	Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
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 send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start.’

Note

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.
