For Fax/Tel Mode Only; Connecting An External Or Extension Telephone; Using A Cordless External Handset; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-9440CN 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 (#91 for New
Zealand) 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 (l91 for New
Zealand).
Connecting an external or
extension telephone

Telephone and external devices
Using a cordless external
handset
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (see page 51) 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.
Note
• If you are always disconnected when
accessing your external TAD remotely, try
changing the Fax Receive Code and
Telephone Answer Code to another three-
digit code using the numbers 0-9, l, #.
• Remote Codes might not work with some
telephone systems.
• Not all brands of cordless telephones are
compatible for use with your machine.

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 pressing the fax receive code
l51 (l91 for New Zealand). Wait for the
chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 41.)
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 #51
(#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press
this between the rings).
