Telephone Service

The caller ID feature of this machine lets you
use the caller ID subscriber service offered by
certain telephone companies.
Caller ID (Caller
IDentification) (not available
in certain area)
The Caller ID is a telephone service that
allows the subscriber to see a display of the
caller's phone number as the telephone rings.
It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can
respond quickly to calls you missed, because
caller IDs are received and stored in your fax
machine memory. Besides the standard
Caller ID feature, you can also select a single
caller's phone number and call back.
Note
To get the Caller ID service, you have
to apply for it at your local telephone
company.
FSK and DTMF are the two modes for
displaying your calls.
The default mode of this machine is
FSK.
Please ask your local telephone
company for whether your mode is
FSK or DTMF.
If your local telephone company uses
DTMF mode, please switch your mode
as follows. Contact your local
telephone company or Brother dealer
in the case that the feature does not
work normally.
Caller ID feature is not available in the
following situation:
