Using A Non-Brother Cordless External Telephone (Mfc-790Cw Only); Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-790CW User Manual

Chapter 7
Using a Non-Brother cordless
external telephone
(MFC-790CW only)
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
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
Speaker Phone to send the call to the
cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Fax Receive code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialing the Fax Receive Code
l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Easy Receive
on page 49.) Your caller will have to press
Start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the machine's
handset or an external telephone connected
to the EXT. jack of the machine, you can
make the machine receive the fax by
pressing Black Start.
Telephone Answer 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).
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the machine's handset by
pressing Speaker Phone.
