Connecting an External Telephone
Your fax machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your fax machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the back of the fax machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call and switch to the fax machine, press Hook or Speaker Phone.
External Telephone can not be connected in some countries.
