Using A Cordless External Telephone; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-465CN User Manual

Note
These telephones are now connected as
external devices (see Connecting an
external or extension
telephone on page 47), because they are
connected to the fax machine via the
T-connector.
Using a cordless external
telephone
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension telephones on page 47) 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

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 40. Your caller will have to
press Start to send the fax.
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
(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).
