Using A Cordless External Telephone; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-240C User Manual

Using a cordless external
telephone
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension phones on page 37) 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
Tel/R to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Fax receive code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the fax receive code
l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. See Fax Detect on page
32. Your caller will have to press Start to
send the fax.
Telephone answer code
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 phone you
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(make sure you press this between the rings).
Changing the remote codes
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes. The preset
Fax Receive Code is l 5 1. The preset
Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. If you want
to, you can replace them with your own
codes.
