Brother FAX-400 - Manual (Page 45)

rV-7. USING THE UNH AS A TELEPHONE
Using an external
telephone answering
device
Connect your external telephone answering device (TAD) to the
EXT.DEVICE jack as shown in the illustration below.
I MANUAL
— F/T
I AUTO ANS
Set the Auto Ans. switch to ''Manual" (so that only the "Manual"
LED is lit).
The external TAD is now ready for use.
The unit will enter the document reception mode automatically
when another party tries to send a fax transmission with a CNG
tone to your machine. CNG is generated by most Group 3 FAX
machines.
If the sending party (using a tone type unit) presses your F/T &
REMOTE ID code, fax reception is switched to the main unit.
• If the ICM secLioit of yocu’ external TAD is full, the TAD will not
answer the telephone. As a result the unit cannot receive the
transmission.
• If your external TAD has a paging function, the unit may prevent
the paging function from working.
• Some fax machines may not be able to signal your fax machine
to switch on automatically during a transmitting. To cover this
possibility we recommend that you record a message on your
TAD requesting the sending party to enter the F/T & Remote ID
code key on his unit before transmission.
A sample message; "Our answering machine is connected to a
fax unit at present, so if you would like to send a fax, please press
the XX (your F/T & REMOTE ID) by tone signal and send your
fax after you hear the FAX tone. If you would like to leave a
message, please do so after this message. Thank you."
