Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
(see page 51) 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.
Using remote codes

Fax Receive Code
7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by pressing the fax receive code
l

replace the handset. (See Easy receive
on page 42.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Start.
Telephone Answer Code
7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(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
(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.
