Telephone Line or Connections Difficulty Dialing does not work. (No dial tone) The machine does not answer when called. Suggestions Check that the machine is plugged in and that the On/Off key is on. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. (Canada only) Change the Tone/Pulse setting. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) Verify that the telephone line and jack are working by connecting a known working telephone and telephone line to the jack. Press Speaker Phone or lift the machine's handset or the handset of an external telephone, and then listen for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line and/ or jack. Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode for your setup. (See Choose the correct Receive Mode on page 44.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check that the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line. Receiving Faxes Difficulty Cannot receive a fax. Suggestions Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing the Speaker Phone key. If you hear static or interference on your fax line, please contact your local telephone company. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection instructions. Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services you have on the same line as the Brother machine. (See Receive mode settings on page 47.) If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select Fax Only mode. If your Brother machine shares a line with an external answering machine, you should select the Manual mode. In Manual mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers will be able to leave a message on your answering machine. If your Brother machine shares the line with a Voice Mail subscriber service, please see Voice Mail on page 62. If your Brother machine is on a line with the Distinctive Ring subscriber service, please see Distinctive Ring on page 63. If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select the Fax/Tel mode. In Fax/Tel mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and produce a pseudo/double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls. If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer any incoming faxes, you should select the Manual mode. In Manual mode, you must answer every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes. 144
