Brother MFC-5440CN - Using a Cordless External Handset; Changing the Remote Codes

A - 15 APPENDIX A
Using a cordless external handset
If the base unit of your cordless telephone is connected (see page
A-16) and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the MFC
answer first, you will have to go to the MFC so you can press
Hook
to transfer the call to the cordless handset.

preset Fax Receive Code is
51
(
91
for New Zealand). The
