Voice operations

Voice calls can be made either with an
external telephone, by dialing manually, or by
using Quick Dial numbers.

Tone or Pulse (Canada only)

If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need
to send tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow the instructions
below:
a
Pick up the handset of an external
telephone or press Hook.
b
Press # on the machine's control panel.
Any digits dialed after this will send tone
signals.
When you hang up, the machine will return to
the Pulse dialing service.

Fax/Tel mode

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring (pseudo/double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at the extension telephone, you'll
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
and then press # 5 1 between the
pseudo/double-rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing
l 5 1.
If you are at the machine, lift the external
telephone's handset, and then press Hook to
answer.

Telephone services

Your machine supports the Caller ID and
Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone
services that some telephone companies
offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
7
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one telephone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.
If you have Voice Mail on your telephone line,
please read the following carefully.

Voice Mail

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone
line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and
the Brother machine will conflict with each
other when receiving incoming calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Brother
machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then
7
your Brother machine will answer first. This
will prevent callers from being able to leave a
message in your Voice Mail.
Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set
to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail
will answer first. This will prevent your Brother
machine from being able to receive an
incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot
transfer the incoming fax back to the Brother
machine.
