Troubleshooting; Changing And Registering Remote Codes - Brother Fax-1020Plus Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting

Sometimes other equipment on your phone line reserves a key that is in the Activation or
Deactivation code. (Some answering machines reserve the "*" key.) If the code you use to
retrieve messages from your answering machine causes the line to be disconnected, try
changing the Remote Codes. Change *51 to ### and #51 to 111. The Remote Activation
and Deactivation Codes may not work with some telephone systems or telephone sets.
NOTE: If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being
received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.
