Using extension telephones

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the machine by lifting the machine’s handset.

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

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 Easy Receive feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Easy Receive uu page 30.)

Telephone services and external devices

Using a non-Brother cordless external handset

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the machine (see Connecting an external or extension telephone uu page 38) 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, press Hook/Hold and then replace the cordless handset. Press Hook/Hold again so you can transfer the call to the cordless handset.
