Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset
7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
(see page 42) and you typically carry the
cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to transfer the call to the cordless
handset.
Using Remote Codes

Fax Receive Code
7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, you can tell your machine to
receive it by pressing the Fax Receive
Code l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Easy Receive
uu
page 34.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Start.
Telephone Answer Code
7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(pseudo/double-ring) after the initial ring
delay. If you pick up the call on an extension
telephone you can turn the F/T ring off by
pressing #51 (make sure you press this
between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Hook.
