Connecting an external or

You can connect a separate telephone

Connect the telephone line cord to the jack
labeled EXT.
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
(see page 56) 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
Hook to transfer the call to the cordless
handset.
