Using A Cordless External Telephone; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-J5910DW 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 (External and extension
telephones uu page 39), 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 and 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. (Fax Detect
uu page 34)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start or
Colour Start and choose Receive.
Remote Deactivation Code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in Fax/Tel 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.
