Operation from external or
extension telephones 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the
Remote Activation code. When you press the
Remote Activation code l51 the machine
starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line: 7
You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect uu page 32.)
For Fax/Tel mode only 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 between the fast
double-rings. If no one is on the line, or if
someone wants to send you a fax, send the
call back to the machine by pressing l51.
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset 7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
page 36) 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.
Note
• If you are always disconnected when
accessing your external TAD remotely, try
changing the Fax Receive Code and
Telephone Answer Code to another
three-digit code using the numbers 0-9, l,
#.
• Remote Codes might not work with some
telephone systems.
• Not all brands of cordless telephones are
compatible for use with your machine.
