    Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® 
    (Distinctive Ring)7
    Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced 
    Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS) 
    offered by Telstra
    ® that allows you to have an 
    additional number on one phone line, with its 
    own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra
    ® 
    FaxStream
    ® Duet® is a call handling feature 
    that helps users distinguish voice and 
    facsimile calls. With FaxStream
    ® Duet®, 
    incoming calls to a fax number are 
    announced by a different, distinctive ring 
    signal. Only one call can be answered (or 
    made) at any one time and while this call is in 
    progress, incoming calls to either number will 
    be presented with a busy tone.
    Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, 
    allowing you to dedicate one phone number 
    just for receiving faxes.
    Note
    After you have set the Distinctive Ring 
    feature to  On, the receive mode is set to 
    Manual  automatically. Your Distinctive 
    Ring Number does not allow Voice 
    calls - only Faxes. You can not change the 
    receive mode from  Manual mode while 
    the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
     
    What is the Advantage of using 
    Telstra
    ® FaxStream® Duet® Function?7
    Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the 
    most efficient way to receive both fax and 
    telephone calls on the same line. When the 
    voice call comes in, all phones (extension 
    and external) and the fax machine will ring to 
    alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in, 
    the fax machine will answer automatically 
    without ringing, whereas the extension and 
    external phones will ring twice with a 
    distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more 
    efficient way of operating a Fax machine with 
    an extension phone as you do not have to use 
    the remote activation codes. It gives you two 
    independent numbers without the higher cost 
    of a second line.

    How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® 
    Work?
    7
    Incoming calls to the voice number, will have 
    the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, 
    followed by a pause, repeated, while the new 
    fax number will have a different ring pattern of 
    three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular 
    intervals.
    When FaxStream
    ® Duet® is On and you 
    receive a voice call all extension and external 
    phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. 
    The fax machine will ring on the third ring with 
    a standard ring pattern. All external and the 
    extension phones will continue to ring, until 
    you or a telephone answering device can 
    answer the voice number.
    When FaxStream
    ® Duet® is On and you 
    receive a fax call on the Duet
    ® number the 
    Fax machine will answer and automatically 
    receive the fax message without ringing. On 
    the other hand, all extension and external 
    phones will ring twice with a distinctive ring 
    pattern. Do not answer the phone as you are 
    receiving a fax message.

    Caller ID7
    Caller ID is a telephone service that allows 
    the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s 
    phone number or name 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 machine memory.
    Note
    To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the 
    Caller ID service at your local telephone 
    company, if available.
     
    Advantages of Caller ID7
    For Business
    All businesses profit from a quicker response 
    to customer calls. Businesses that provide 
    mail order services, money-lending services 
    or provide confidential information, can 
    protect themselves from false orders or 
    acceptance of false identification.
    At Home
    Residential customers can protect 
    themselves from unwanted calls.
    How Does the Caller ID Work?7
    The Caller ID Appears on the Display 
    When Your Telephone Rings
    7
    As your telephone rings, the display shows 
    you the caller’s phone number or name if the 
    name has stored in the Speed-Dial. Once you 
    answer the call, the caller’s ID disappears. 
    You will see up to the first 16 characters of the 
    number on the display.
    Note
    •If ID Unknown  appears on the display, it 
    means that the call came from outside 
    your caller ID service area or a public 
    phone.
    1
    •If  ID Withheld  appears on the display, it 
    means the caller intentionally blocked the 
    transmission of his/her ID.
    1
    1Depends on network function.
     
    The Caller ID is Stored in Your 
    Machine Memory7
    The machine can store a maximum of the last 
    30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along 
    with the time and date of reception. The 31st 
    call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.
    The Caller ID information stored in the 
    memory can be used for the following.
    „ Printing the Caller ID List.
    You can review calls you received by 
    checking the Caller IDs in memory. This 
    report will list the Date, Time, Phone 
    Number (Caller ID) name, and type of Call 
    (Comment) if available. (See  How to print 
    a report  on page 67.)

    FaxAbility7
    FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom 
    that allows you to have an additional number 
    on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring 
    pattern. This way, when you get an incoming 
    call, you can identify the number being called 
    by its ring.
    How Will the Fax Machine Treat All 
    Other Numbers?
    7
    FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine 
    will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) 
    number. When a call comes in to your main 
    number, all the phones will ring. You can set 
    an external answering device (TAD) to 
    answer calls on the other number(s). (See the 
    chart in the following page.)
    What is the Advantage of Using the 
    FaxAbility Function?
    7
    Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to 
    receive both fax and telephone calls on the 
    same line. It is much easier for your callers 
    who dial manually. The fax machine will 
    answer with receiving tones so they will not 
    have to press an activation code. And the 
    people who call to talk on your main number 
    will not have to talk to your fax machine. 
    Basically, it gives you two independent 
    numbers without the higher cost of a second 
    line.
    How Does FaxAbility Work?7
    Your telephone number will have the 
    standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while 
    the new number will have a ring pattern of 
    long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is 
    On, you will not hear the first ring of all 
    incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension 
    phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine 
    recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will 
    stop and the fax machine will answer and 
    automatically receive the fax message. 
    Otherwise, you will hear the extension 
    phones and the fax machine continue to ring. 
    The fax machine always listens to the ring 
    pattern before it answers, so do not pick up 
    the phone during that time. You will quickly 
    learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, 
    so you will not be tempted to answer that 
    number. Either you or a telephone answering 
    device can answer the main number(s).
     
    Note
    After you have set the FaxAbility feature to 
    On , the receive mode is set to  Manual 
    automatically. Unless you have a TAD or 
    Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility 
    number, Manual mode means you must 
    answer all the call yourself. You can not 
    change the receive mode to the other 
    mode while the FaxAbility is set to on.

    Distinctive Ring (For 
    Singapore and Hong Kong)7
    This machine feature lets you use the 
    Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by 
    some telephone companies, which allows 
    you to have several telephone numbers on 
    one phone line. Each phone number has its 
    own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you will know 
    which phone number is ringing. This is one 
    way you can have a separate phone number 
    for your machine.
    Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, 
    allowing you to dedicate one phone number 
    just for receiving faxes. You will need to set 
    Distinctive Ring to  On.
    Note
    You can switch it off temporarily, then turn 
    it back on. When you get a new fax 
    number, make sure you reset this

    The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you 
    use the Caller ID subscriber service offered 
    by many local phone companies. Call your 
    telephone company for details. This service 
    provides you, by means of the screen display, 
    the telephone number (or name) of your 
    caller as the line rings.
    After a few rings, the screen displays the 
    telephone number of your caller (or name, if 
    available). Once you answer the call, the 
    Caller ID information disappears from the 
    screen, but the call information remains 
    stored in the Caller ID memory.
    „ You will see the first 16 characters of the 
    number or name.
    „ ID Unknown  display means call 
    originates outside your Caller ID service 
    area.
    „ ID Withheld  display means the caller 
    has intentionally blocked transmission of 
    information.
    Note
    You can print a list of Caller ID information 
    received by your machine. (See  How to 
    print a report  on page 67.)
    Caller ID service varies with different 
    carriers. Call your local phone company to 
    determine the kind of service available in 
    your area.
     
    Connecting an external 
    TAD (telephone 
    answering device)
    7
    You may choose to connect an external 
    answering device. However, when you have 
    an 
    external TAD on the same telephone line 
    as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and 
    the machine 
    ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) 
    tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over 
    the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear 
    CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD 
    continue playing your outgoing message so 
    your caller can leave you a voice message.
    The TAD must answer within two rings (the 
    recommended setting is two rings). The 
    machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD 
    has answered the call, and with four rings there 
    are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for 
    the fax 
    ‘handshake’. Make sure you carefully 
    follow the instructions in this guide for recording 
    your outgoing message. We do not recommend 
    using the toll saver feature on your external 
    answering machine if it exceeds five rings.
    Note
    If you do not receive all your faxes, shorten 
    the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

    Improper Setup 
    DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the 
    same telephone line.
     
    Connections7
    The external TAD must be connected as 
    shown in the previous illustration.
    aSet your external TAD to one or two 
    rings. (The machines Ring Delay setting 
    does not apply.)
    bRecord the outgoing message on your 
    external TAD.
    cSet the TAD to answer calls.
    dSet the Receive Mode to 
    External TAD . (See Choose the 
    Receive Mode  on page 37.)
    Recording outgoing message 
    (OGM) on an external TAD7
    Timing is important in recording this message. 
    The message sets up the ways to handle both 
    manual and automatic fax reception.
    aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the 
    beginning of your message. (This allows 
    your machine time to listen for the fax 
    CNG tones of automatic transmissions 
    before they stop.)
    bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
    Note
    We recommend beginning your OGM with 
    an initial 5-second silence because the 
    machine cannot hear fax tones over a 
    resonant or loud voice. You may try 
    omitting this pause, but if your machine 
    has trouble receiving, then you must 
    re-record the OGM to include it.
     
    Multi-line connections (PABX)7
    Most offices use a central telephone system.
    Brother recommends that all our machines be 
    connected to a discreet (dedicated) line. 
    Although a particular PABX may appear to 
    work with a particular model of fax machine, 
    we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate 
    correctly.
    While it is often relatively simple to connect a 
    fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic 
    Branch Exchange), we suggest that you 
    contact the company that installed your 
    telephone system and ask them to connect 
    the fax machine for you.
    Brother does not recommend the use of a 
    PABX line. PABX limitations in general can 
    cause some functions of the fax machine not 
    to work correctly.

    Operation from extension 
    telephones7
    If you answer a fax call on an extension or an 
    external telephone, you can make your 
    machine take the call by using the Remote 
    Activation Code. When you press the Remote 
    Activation Code  l51  (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 Remote Deactivation Code  # 5  1  (#9  1  for 
    New Zealand) to take the call at an extension 
    telephone. (See  F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel 
    mode only)  on page 39.)
    If you answer a call and no one is on

    Using a cordless external 
    telephone7
    If your cordless telephone is connected to the 
    telephone line cord (See  External and 
    extension telephones  on page 57) 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 send the call to the cordless handset.
    Using remote codes7
    Remote Activation code7
    If you answer a fax call on an extension or 
    external telephone, you can tell your machine 
    to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation 
    Code  l 5  1  ( l 9  1  for New Zealand). Wait for 
    the chirping sounds then replace the handset. 
    (See  Fax Detect  on page 40.) Your caller will 
    have to press  Start to send the fax.
    If you answer a fax call at the external 
    telephone, you can make the machine 
    receive the fax by pressing  Mono Start.
    Remote Deactivation code7
    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  # 5  1  
    ( #9  1  for New Zealand) (make sure you press 
    this  between  the rings).
    If the machine answers a voice call and 
    pseudo/double rings for you to take over, you 
    can take the call at the external telephone by 
    pressing  Hook.
    Changing the remote codes7
    If you want to use Remote Activation, you 
    have to turn on the remote codes. The preset 
    Remote Activation Code is  l51  (l 9  1  for 
    New Zealand). The preset Remote 
    Deactivation Code is  #51 (#9  1  for New 
    Zealand). If you want to, you can replace 
    them with your own codes.
