If you are using an external telephone and
have a pulse dialing service, but need to send
tone signals (for example, for telephone
banking), follow the instructions below.
a
Lift the handset of the external
telephone.
b
Press # on the control panel of your
machine. Any digits dialed after this will
send tone signals.
When you hang up, the machine will
return to the pulse dialing service.
Fax/Tel mode
7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
If you are at an external telephone, lift the
handset of the external telephone, and then
press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you'll
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press # 5 1 between the
pseudo/double-rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing
l
5 1.
Telephone services
7
Your machine supports the Caller ID and
Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone
services that some telephone companies
offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one telephone line may affect the
way your machine works. If you have Voice
Mail on your telephone line, please read the
following carefully.
Voice Mail
7
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone
line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and
the Brother machine will conflict with each
other when receiving incoming calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Brother
machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then
your Brother machine will answer first. This
will prevent callers from being able to leave a
message in your Voice Mail.
Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set
to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail
will answer first. This will prevent your Brother
machine from being able to receive an
incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot
transfer the incoming fax back to the Brother
machine.
