Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset 7
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 must
go to the machine so you can press Pickup
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 Codes 7
Remote Activation Code 7
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 47). 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 Fax Start and
then pressing Receive.
Remote Deactivation Code 7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T ring
(fast 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 fast
double-rings for you to take over, you can
take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Pickup.
