Do you have BT’s Call Minder on the
phone line?
If you have Call Minder on the phone line
where you will install your new machine,
there is a strong possibility that Call Minder
and the machine may conflict with each other
while receiving incoming calls
.
Why should there be problems?
Since both the machine and Call Minder will
pick up the call, after the number of rings you
have set, each of them has the ability to keep
the other from receiving calls.
For example, if Call Minder is set to answer
after two rings and your machine is set to
answer after four, Call Minder will stop your
machine from receiving faxes.
If you set Call Minder and the Brother
machine to answer after the same number of
rings, there is no way of knowing which one
will answer first. It is important to remember
that neither Call Minder nor the machine can
pass the call back to the other after the call
has been answered.
How can you avoid possible
problems?
A very good way to avoid problems like the
one mentioned, is to get a second phone
number on your present phone line.
Many people with Call Minder choose an
alternative service, which is called “BT Call
Sign”, and they are very satisfied with it.
Another way to avoid possible problems is to
replace Call Minder with an answering
machine. Your Brother machine is designed
to work with an answering machine or TAD
(telephone answering device).

answering device (TAD) on page A-3.)
