Using a non-Brother cordless
external telephone
7
If your non-brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
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 send the call to the cordless handset.

Fax Receive Code
7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, you can tell your machine to
receive it by dialing the Fax Receive Code
5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Easy Receive
on page 37.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Black Start, and
choosing 2.Receive.
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
(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 # 5 1
(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.
