BT Call Sign (U.K. only)7
The BT Call Sign subscriber service is a way 
to have a separate number for your machine, 
it allows you to have at least two separate 
telephone numbers on one phone line. Each 
phone number has its own distinctive ringing 
pattern.
You can set up your machine so that it only 
responds to the second number.
When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, 
the receive mode is set to Manual 
automatically. Manual mode will not respond

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.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will 
operate...

Using extension telephones (U.K. 
only)
7
Your premises may already be wired with 
parallel extension telephones (those 
connected to sockets in other rooms in the 
building), or perhaps you intend to add 
extension telephones to your line. While the 
simplest arrangement is a parallel 
connection, there are some reasons why this 
arrangement may cause problems.
The most common problem, is someone 
picking up an extension telephone while the 
machine is trying to send a fax.
Such problems...

7 Using a non-Brother cordless 
external handset7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is 
connected to the telephone line cord (see 
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 
Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless 
handset.
