Caller ID7
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller 
ID subscriber service offered by many local 
telephone companies. Call your telephone 
company for details. This service shows the 
telephone number, or name if it is available, 
of your caller as the line rings.
You can use a number in the Caller ID History 
to make a phone call (MFC-665CW and 
MFC-845CW only), send a fax, add it to 
Speed-Dial, or delete it from the history. (See 
Caller ID history  on page 65.)
After a few rings,...

Converting telephone wall outlets7
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 
jack. The first two ways may require help from 
the telephone company. You can change the 
wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 
jacks. Or you can have an RJ11 wall outlet 
installed and slave or jump one of the phone 
numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex 
adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into 
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two 
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line...

Multi-line connections (PBX)7
We suggest you ask the company who 
installed your PBX to connect your machine. 
If you have a multi line system we suggest 
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the 
last line on the system. This prevents the 
machine being activated each time the 
system receives telephone calls. If all 
incoming calls will be answered by a 
switchboard operator we recommend that 
you set the Receive Mode to  Manual.
