For Fax/Tel Mode Only; Connecting An External Or Extension Telephone; Using A Non-Brother Cordless External Handset - Brother MFC-9840CDW User Manual

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Hook to answer.
If you're at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 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 l51.

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
page 55) 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.
