Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. 
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering 
device) directly to your FAX/MFC.

Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. 
on the back side of the FAX/MFC. 

Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows 

, 

and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the 
external phone and switch to the fax, press Hook.

You may choose to connect an answering system. However, when you have an 
external TAD on the same telephone line as the FAX/MFC, the TAD answers 
all calls. The FAX/MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, 
the FAX/MFC takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG 
tones, the FAX/MFC lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so 
your caller can leave you a voice message.

The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). 
The FAX/MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and 
with four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax 
“handshake.”  Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for 
recording your outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the 
TAD.

 

You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack 

 if you subscribe 

to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the 
distinctive ring pattern on your machine, use that number as a fax number and 
set your machine’s Receive mode to

.

The recommended setting is three or four rings on the external TAD when you 
have the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service.

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your Brother machine. If your 
TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to 
control the phone line. (See illustration on page 2-10.)
