You can connect a separate telephone to
your machine as shown in the diagram below.

2 External telephone
When you are using an external or extension
phone, the LCD shows Telephone
(MFC-440CN only) or Ext. Tel in Use
(MFC-665CW only).
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New
Zealand), the machine starts to receive the
fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
phone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode
only) on page 45.)

If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a

manual fax.
Press l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand) and
wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows
7
Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the

call. (See Fax Detect on page 46)

Fax receive code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the fax receive code
l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for the
chirping sounds then replace the handset.
See Fax Detect on page 46. Your caller will
have to press Start to send the fax.
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 phone you
7
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(# 9 1 for New Zealand) (make sure you
press this between the rings).
