Do you have Voice Mail on the phone

line?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line

where you will install your new machine,

there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail

and the machine may conflict with each other

while receiving incoming calls.

Why should there be problems?

Since both the machine and Voice Mail will

pick up the call, after the number of rings you

have set, each of them has the ability to keep

the other from receiving calls.

For example, if Voice Mail is set to answer

after two rings and your machine is set to

answer after four, Voice Mail will stop your

machine from receiving faxes.

If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine

to answer after the same number of rings ,

there is no way of knowing which one will

answer first. It is important to remember that

neither Voice Mail nor the machine can pass

the call back to the other after the call has

been answered.

How can you avoid possible

problems?

A very good way to avoid problems like the

one mentioned, is to get a second phone

number on your present phone line.

Many people with Voice Mail choose an

alternative service, which is called

“Distinctive Ring”, and they are very satisfied

with it.

(See Distinctive Ring on page A-1.)

Another way to avoid possible problems is to

replace Voice Mail with an answering

machine. Your Brother machine is designed

to work with an answering machine or TAD

(telephone answering device).

(See Connecting an external telephone

answering device (TAD) on page A-5.)
