Using A Non-Brother Cordless External Handset; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC MFC-7320 User Manual

Chapter 7
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
page 48) 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 transfer 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 pressing the Remote
Activation code l51. Wait for the chirping
sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax
Detect on page 41.) 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 #51
(make sure you press this between the rings).
