Using A Cordless External Telephone; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-J410 Basic User's Manual

Using a cordless external
telephone
Once the base unit of the cordless telephone
has been connected to the same telephone
line as the machine (see External and
extension telephones on page 32), it is easier
to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you
carry the cordless handset around with you.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Tel/R to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Remote Activation code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Fax Detect
on page 28.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and
choose Receive.
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 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 # 5 1 (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 Tel/R.
