Chapter 7 To avoid conflicts between your Brother machine and your Voice Mail service, do one of the following: Get the Distinctive Ring service from your telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a feature of your Brother machine that allows a person with one line to receive fax and voice calls through two different telephone numbers on that one line.
Telephone services and external devices What does Brother’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do? 7 The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your machine to take full advantage of the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service. The new telephone number on your line can just receive faxes.
Chapter 7 Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern Very important! After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, your Distinctive Ring number will receive faxes automatically. The receive mode is automatically set to the D/R mode and the screen will show D/R as the Receive Mode. You cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This ensures the Brother machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere when your main telephone number is called.
Telephone services and external devices Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message and the display will show Ext. Tel in Use .
Chapter 7 Recording an outgoing message (OGM) a b c 7 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax tones. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. Connect the telephone line cord to the jack labeled EXT. Before you connect an external telephone, remove the protective cap (3) from the EXT. jack on the machine. Note We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5 second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud voice.
