Using a non-Brother cordless external handset

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the telephone line cord (see page 60) 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 Remote Activation Code and Remote Deactivation 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.

Using Remote CodesRemote Activation Code

If you answer a fax call on an external or extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote Activation Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand). Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 49.) Your caller will have to press start to send the fax.

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Start.

Remote Deactivation Code

If you receive a voice call and the machine is

in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T 7 (double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension telephone

you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51 (#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press this between the rings).

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Hook.
