PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON

The Brother FAX-175 is designed to operate in an office environment or at home. It is rugged, reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, to ensure years of trouble-free performance, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not locate the unit near heaters, air conditioners, in direct sunlight or in extremely dusty environments.

• Install the unit on a flat level surface, such as a desk, a table, a typewriter or computer stand.

• Do not locate the unit where water or chemicals are likely to splash on it.

• Select a vibration-free area of your office.

• Locate the unit within 3 feet from a telephone wall Jack.

• Locate the unit within 3 feet of a standard, grounded outlet.

• Avoid plugging in the unit into an outlet which is on the same line as an air conditioner, a refrigeration unit, a copier, an electric typewriter or any other device that draws a lot of current in a relatively short period of time.

Page 9

INSTALLING THE UNIT

I. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-175 unit to the public switched telephone network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the USOC RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack Is not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion kits are available from your local phone company, an electronics / computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or

the AT&T Phone Center stores. To connect your FAX-175 to the telephone line, follow these steps:

• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the jack on the side of the facsimile unit.

• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its

plugs to the jack in the back of the FAX-175 unit and the second plug to your modular

wall jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-175 is connected to the telephone network.

Please see the illustration beiow for the telephone connections.

NOTE: If you have a MODULAR PHONE JACK (USOC RJ11C), simply plug the supplied phone cord into the wall jack.

If you have the older 4-PRONG JACK, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC RJA1X. Plug the adapter into the wall jack and then plug the phone cord into the adapter. This is illustrated below.

ADAPTOR PLUG

MODULAR PLUG

Page 10

II. MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the FAX-175 to a key system or a PBX, we-suggest that you contact the organization which installed your company's telephone system and ask them to connect the FAX-175 to the system. If the FAX-175 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the FAX-175 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-175 will not be activated by every phone call coming into your office. The preferred solution is to ask the phone company to

assign a separate line to the facsimile unit. In this case, you can leave the unit in Automatic Answer Mode 24 hours a day and derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations capabilities.

III. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The FAX-175 can be plugged into any standard power (110 VAC) outlet. Simply make sure that the outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines which tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers, etc. The FAX-175 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.

"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."

IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT

Before reading the instructions for inserting the recording paper into the unit, please consider

these important notes:

NOTE 1: The recording paper is heat-sensitive. Avoid exposure to high temperature, high humidity or direct sunlight. Keep the received documents (or copied documents) away from high temperature, direct sunlight, high humidity, alcohol, blueprints. Otherwise the documents may become discolored.

NOTE 2: The use of Brother Recording Paper is specifically recommended for this unit. The use of paper not authorized by Brother may adversely affect the unit's performance and may void Brother's product warranty.

Brother Recording paper has a red stripe indicator. Its appearance on your received or copied documents is a warning that the paper roll will be running out shortly. Replace the paper roll

when you see the red stripe. Furthermore, Brother Recording paper has a black stripe at the

end of the roll. If you had not changed the paper at the appearance of the red stripe, the unit

will auto-matically stop when the black stripe appears. This feature works only with Brother

Recording paper on Brother facsimile units. Please note that Brother recording paper rolls are

overwound (i.e., contain extra paper) so that you are not wasting paper when you remove the

roll when the indicator appears.

"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A

POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT

OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."

To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:

1. Press the recording paper cover button which is located at the right edge of the top of the machine. This opens the cover.

Page 11

2. Hold the recording paper roll so that the free end of the paper points towards you from the top of the roll.

Be sure not to set the recording paper upside-down. If this happens, you will not get any images on reception or copying.

3. Simply drop in the paper into the unit. There is no need to thread paper! Make sure that approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of paper protrudes from the unit.

4. Push the cover shut until you hear a click.

5. Cut off excess paper pulled out from the unit by tearing it off in one smooth movement against the cutting edge of the paper cover.

This process is illustrated below.

HOW TO USE THE UNIT AS A CONVENIENCE COPIER

1. Insert the original document face down into the unit's scanner, aligning the document's left edge with the document guide.

Set the contrast switch (bottom front of the unit) to match the image density of the

original (D for dark original, N for normal original and L for light original). The FAX-175 offers three levels of RESOLUTION - STANDARD (used for typewritten

3. and typeset text and line drawings), FINE (used for newprint and detailed drawings and PHOTO (for photographs). The PHOTO mode offers sixteen (16) ievels of grey scale

for excellent reproduction of photographs. Please note that the use of the PHOTO

mode, while yielding superior quaiity copies of photographs, is quite a bit slow. Use this mode only when warranted.

Press the START/COPY button on the front panel. The START/COPY lamp will

4. light. The unit will automatically select the FINE mode (the FINE lamp will light), unless

you've pressed the FINE/PHOTO button to achieve the sixteen (16) ievels of grey scale

reproduction (in this case, the PHOTO and FINE lamps will light). The unit wili automaticallty start drawing the original through the scanner and the copy will start

emerging from the siot in the front of the unit. After the copying is completed, the unit wiil emit a beep and you can tear off the copy. The originai wiii have by now emerged on the other side of the scanner.

Do not cut the recording paper while copying because you may affect the copied image.

IMPORTANT COPYING INFORMATION:

• Copy one document at a time! If you wish to copy more than one page, wait until you

hear the short beep after the previous document has been copied. Insert the new document and press the START/COPY button again. Do not copy very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick). Do not copy wrinkied, wet, curied or torn documents. Do not copy documents printed on thick photographic paper, metal or textile. Do not copy documents that are too thin (tissue paper, tracing paper, etc.) Remove ali staples and paper clips from the documents to be copied. Do not copy documents heid together by scotch tape. Do not copy carbon paper.

Do not copy documents whose surface is siippery. Use copies dupiicated by this machine as temporary copies only. If it is necessary to store a copy for a iong time, use a copier to reproduce the originai document or the copy made by this machine).

NOTE: The FAX-175 can function as a telephone while copying is in progress.

BASIC FACSIMILE FUNCTIONS -

TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION

I. TRANSMISSION OF DOCUMENTS

1. Insert the original document face down into the unit's scanner, aligning the document's left edge with the document guide. The unit will pull the original partly into the scanner. Insert one original sheet at a time! (see 4-f below).

2. Set the contrast switch (bottom front of the unit) to match the image density of the original (D for dark, N for normal, L for light original, respectively).

3. Specify the FINE or PHOTO mode by pressing the FINE/PHOTO button. Unless you specify either of these modes, the unit will automatically select the NORMAL mode Please note that NORMAL o^ers the fastest transmission speed, followed by FINE and then the PHOTO (the slowest).

4. Pick up the handset. After you hear the dial tone, dial the other party's number. (a) If a voice answers, ask the other party to activate manual fax reception (if the

other unit is a Brother unit, the other party will push the START/COPY button; if it is not a Brother unit, the other party may have to follow a different procedure).

(b) If the other unit is set to automatic facsimile reception, you will hear the fax

ready tone. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY lamp will

light up. As the transmission starts, the lamp will stay on until completion. (c) When the transmission is underway, replace the handset in its cradle. (d) The original document will be pulled through the scanner. (e) When a page is transmitted, the unit will emit a short beep.

(f) To transmit more than one page, wait for the short beep referred to in (e) and

feed in the next page. If no new document is fed into a scanner following the short beep, a long beep will sound signifying the termination of the transmission mode. The unit will release the phone line.

You can use the REDIAL button for automatically redialing the last number dialed (if, for instance, it was busy when you first tried transmitting the document). To use this feature, simply press the REDIAL button.

You may dial a number with the handset in its cradle. This can be done by pressing the HOOK

button and then dialing the number.

IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION INFORMATION:

Transmit papers one at a time.

• Do not transmit very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick). If you have to transmit such

pages, use a photocopier (not the FAX-175) to make a copy and transmit the copy instead.

• Do not transmit wrinkled, wet, curled or torn documents. Make a photocopy and transmit it instead.

Do not transmit documents printed on thick photographic paper, metal or textile. Make

a photocopy and transmit it instead.

Page 15

Do not transmit documents that are too thin (tissue paper, tracing paper, etc.) The thinnest paper suitabie for transmission is 0.055mm. Make a photocopy and transmit it instead.

Remove all staples and paper clips from the documents to be transmitted. Do not transmit documents held together by scotch tape. Photocopy them and transmit the photocopy. Do not transmit carbon papers. Make a photocopy and transmit it instead. Do not transmit documents with siippery surfaces. Make a photocopy and transmit it.

II. RECEPTION OF DOCUMENTS

The FAX-175 can receive manuaily or automaticaiiy. The choice is made by using the switch

marked AUTO ANS (lower front end of the unit). The OFF position switches the unit to manual

reception and the ON position aiiows automatic reception.

A. Manual Reception

When the AUTO ANS switch is in the OFF position, the foilowing should be done when the phone rings:

1. Lift the handset.

2. If you hear a series of fax beeps, you'il know that a fax message is coming in.

3. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY iamp will iight up. As the reception gets underway, the lamp will stay on. You may replace the handset in its

cradie. The paper wiil start coming out of the siot.

4. When the reception is compieted, the unit wiil emit a long beep.

5. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so oniy after the iong beep so as not to affect the quaiity of the received image.

B. Automatic Reception

When the AUTO ANS switch is in the ON position, the foliowing wili occur:

1. The unit wiii receive the fax message automaticaiiy after one (1) ring. If you wish the unit to receive the fax message after six (6) rings, use the switch on the back of the

controi panel (NO OF RINGS switch) to affect this change.

2. The START/COPY iamp wiil light up. As the reception gets underway, the lamp will stay on. The paper will start coming out of the slot.

3. When the reception is compieted, the unit wiii emit a iong beep.

4. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so oniy after the iong beep so as not to affect the quaiity of the received image.

NOTE: Remove a jammed document from the machine by opening the recording paper cover.

Otherwise the receive operation will fail.

Page 16

III. PASSWORD COMMUNICATION

The FAX-175 has a password code feature. If your unit's password switch (lower front) Is set,

and so is the sender's or receiver's switch, and the two passwords do not match, it is impossible to receive or send a facsimile message. The password code feature is useful in insuring the confidentiality of facsimile communication and in preventing an influx of fax "junk

mail." However, if set, it will inhibit the reception/transmission from/to non-Brother units and from/to Brother units with a different password code. Therefore, unless strictly necessary, we recommend that the password switch be left in the OFF position.

The programming of your password will be explained later. NOTE: When you send a document in password mode, the alarm may sound in the following

cases:

{1) The receiver's facsimile unit does not have a password function (2) The two paswords do not match (3) You called a wrong number (a variant of the first case) (4) The password switch of the receiving facsimile is set in the OFF position.

Page 17

FACSIMILE-RELATED PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS

Unlike most other facsimile units in this class and price range, the FAX-175 allows the user to program certain facsimile functions and parameters. These are:

I. The FAX Password Code (for password communication discussed above).

II. Remote Terminal Identification (RTI) / Transmit Terminal Identification (TTI) telephone

number. This is the number that appears on the top of the page when the other party receives your message.

III. The Station ID (name or identifying numbers). This appears on the top of the page

when the other party receives your facsimile communication.

IV. User-selectable parameter settings (User-selectable Switches)

Telephone and TAD (Telephone Answering Device)-related programming is discussed in the subsequent section.

The programming is done using one or more of the following buttons:

(50) aipha-numeric characters for this ID. You can register a mixture of letters and numbers,

e.g., XYZ Co. District 13, or you can register all letters or all numbers. Here is an example of

how you can register an all-character ID - "BROTHER U.S.A.".

As shown on page 12, the process of registering the STATION ID starts by pressing the

FINE/PHOTO button three (3) times in step 3. The following steps are:

Press the START/COPY button to print out the STATION ID currently registered in

the unit. The unit will print out the following: **** ***************Q|jSTATION ID ***************************

* *

* STATION ID:

it you will see the number 34. Thus, press FINE/PHOTO button three (3) times, then press START/COPY button to register "3". Then, press FINE/PHOTO button four (4) times and then START/COPY button to register the "4." This registers the letter "B."

To register the letter R, look at the table and locate "R". Underneath it you will see the number 50. Press FINE/PHOTO button five (5) times, press START/COPY button

to register "5". Then, press START/COPY to register and select the "0." This

registers "R".

To register the letter O, look at the table and locate "O". Underneath it you will see the

number 47. Press FINE/PHOTO button four (4) times, then press START/COPY button to register "4". Then, press FINE/PHOTO button seven (7) times and then

START/COPY button to register the "7." This registers the letter "O." Continue this

procedure until you’ve registered the word "BROTHER."

To register a space, look at the table and locate "BLANK". Underneath it you will see the number 00. Press START/COPY button twice to register "00". This registers a blank space.

9. Continue this operation until you have selected and registered the entire STATION ID.

10. Press the STOP button to initiate the automatic printing of: **** DO YOU WISH TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGE? *******

iV. USER-SELECTABLE SWITCH

The FAX-175 offers a number of user-selectable functions via the User Selectable Switches which are initially programmed as 0000000 by the factory. Each of these digits is a "switch" that controls a specific parameter of the facsimile machine.

Digits

Parameters they control

Digit 1: The transmission speed

Digit 2: The presence or absence of audible tone

Digits 3 and 4: The resolution mode - NORMAL, FINE, PHOTO

Digit 5: Length of a document that can be transmitted or copied

Digit 6: The presence or absence of end-of-page mark

Digit 7: NOT USED The following table summarizes the digits, the items they control, the factory settings, the

optional settings and the new codes for the optional settings. Remember, the factory settings are all Os!

Digit No. Item controlled

For example, when the factory selected for digits 3 and 4 the setting of 00, the FAX-175 will

automatically select the NORMAL mode as the "home position". However, if most of your transmissions are of photographs, you may wish to change the "home position" to PHOTO (by setting the digits 3 and 4 to 11. See below for the procedure.

To set a user-selectable function:

1. Turn the power OFF.

"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."

2. Turn the power ON again while depressing the FINE/PHOTO button.

3. The unit will automatically print out: **** ***********0|jpp^|^-p (J3£p SWITCH SETTING*****************

TELEPHONE AND ANSWERING MACHINE FEATURES

I. HOW TO USE THE FAX-175 AS A TELEPHONE

The FAX-175 possesses very sophisticated teiephone capabiiities. Yet, these capabiiities are

easy to use. Please note that the FAX-175 can be used for voice conversation even when the unit is set to

automatic facsimile reception mode or when the unit is copying a document.

A. Telephone Controls

All numbers are dialed from the numeric key pad on the control panel of the FAX-175. This pad

is identical to the standard touch-tone telephone dial.

The four buttons to the left of the telephone key pad are used (from the top) as follows:

• PAUSE - When pressed, a 3.7 second pause is generated. This button has other uses in telephone-related programming (see below).

REDIAL

SPEED DIAL -

HOOK

The other telephone-related controls are located at the back of the unit:

• PULSE/TONE Selects rotary vs. tone mode of operation

• RINGER VOLUME Offers three settings - High, Medium, Low

SPEAKER VOLUME

B. Using the handset

Pressing this button makes the phone automatically redial the last number dialed. This button has additional uses (see below).

Presssing this button initiates speed dial calls. This key is also used to program the speed dial numbers into the unit's memory.

Pressing this button allows you to initiate phone and fax calls

while the handset is on-hook. The built-in speaker (under the handset) allows hands-off operation of the FAX-175 while dialing. This button has other uses (as we've discussed in facsimile-related programming). Please note, however, the

FAX-175 is NOT a "speaker phone I"

This control provides continuous volume adjustment from HIGH (H) to LOW (L).

The handset of the FAX-175 is used just like any other handset of a standard telephone. Please note the volume adjustment switch on the inside of the handset.

Page 25

C. Standard dialing

There are two ways to dial a telephone call or a fax call:

1. OFF-HOOK — Lift the handset, dial the number after hearing the dial tone.

2. ON HOOK — Make sure that the unit's power is ON. Press the HOOK button and you can dial with the handset in its cradle after hearing the dial tone from the speaker. The speaker is located under the handset.

D. Using the redial function

Redialing can be performed only immediately following a dialing (i.e., after you've dialed using OFF-HOOK, ON-HOOK or Speed Dialing). The redial memory accepts up to 31 digits in TONE mode or 32 digits in PULSE mode. If the number you've dialed has more than these numbers of digits, redial will not work.

If you wish to keep the number you are dialing confidential and do not wish anyone to call it after you leave the office or your desk unattended, simply press the redial buttom twice after completion of dialing. The redial function will not function.

E. Speed Dialing

The FAX-175 allows you to program and use up to twenty (20) pre-recorded numbers of 16 digits (in pulse mode) or 15 digits (in the tone mode) each. If you need more digits, say for credit card calls or international calls, you can program and use more than one location for this longer number because the FAX-175 allows "chain dialing" (i.e., pressing several speed-dial codes in sequence).

To program your most frequently-used telephone and fax numbers follow this procedure:

1. With the handset ON HOOK (in the cradle), press the SPEED DIAL button.

2. Dial the desired telephone or fax number (up to 15 digits in TONE MODE, up to 16 digits in PULSE mode).

3. Press the SPEED DIAL button again.

4. Assign this number a two-digit code, starting with 00 and going up to 19 (this covers the entire 20 allowable numbers). Dial in this 2-digit code.

5. You can stop now or continue inputting the remainder of your frequently-used numbers by returning to Step 1.

To use the speed-dialing feature of this unit, follow this procedure:

1. Lift the handset or press the HOOK button.

2. Press the SPEED DIAL button after hearing the dial tone.

3. Dial the 2-digit code for the desired number.

To erase a programmed speed-dial number, follow this procedure:

1. Press the SPEED DIAL button twice.

2. Press the 2-digit code for the number you wish to erase from thememory.

Page 26

Using the PAUSE button

If communicating from a PBX extension, the PAUSE button shouid be used. Pressing PAUSE key between the numbers buiids in 3.7 seconds deiay needed to access the PBX's second dial tone. If a longer time is needed, such as in case of overseas caiis, pressing the PAUSE button several times can stack a number of pauses (e.g., pressing it twice wili give you 3.7 sec. x 2 =

7.4 sec. delay). Pressing the PAUSE button, the REDIAL button or flipping the PULSE/TONE switch during a

rediai operation or a speed-dialing operation releases the pause. Using the same controis once

can aiso reiease a muitipie stacked pause.

II. THE MEMO FEATURE

Your FAX-175 provides you with an abiiity to record a voice memo which can be used by you as a memory-jogger or be accessed by a member of your famiiy or a co-worker when you are out.

A. Recording the memo

To record a memo follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is OFF (check this by looking at the TAD lamp to make sure it is OFF).

2. Press the MEMO and RECORD buttons simultaneously. A short beep (1 sec.) will be

heard and the MEMO and RECORD lamps will flash. You may release the MEMO button but keep the RECORD button depressed while you are recording the memo. If

the message memory is full (see the section on ICM below), you will hear an alarm.

3. When you hear a beep, you can start recording your memo (without releasing the RECORD button). The recording time available for messages is variable (see the

section on ICM below). Five seconds before your allotted time runs out both the

MEMO and the RECORD lamps will start flashing faster.

B. Accessing the memo

Since the MEMO and the telephone messages recorded by the TAD utilize the same memory, the method of retrieving a recorded memo is identical to that of retrieving a telephone message. This procedure is described below (lll-C).

Please note that the ICM and MEMO lamp provides the following information:

No callers’ messages or memos recorded Memo(s) recorded Callers' messages recorded ICM memory is full

Both ICM and MEMO lamps are OFF. ICM lamp is OFF, MEMO lamp is ON. ICM lamp is ON, MEMO lamp is OFF. Both ICM and MEMO lamps are flashing.

Page 27

III. USING THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD) A. Recording the Outgoing Message (OGM)

• Press the TAD button

• Press the RECORD button. You will hear a short beep. This button must be held depressed for the entire time while you are recording the outgoing message. The RECORD lamp will start blinking. You have 16 seconds in which to record the OGM (outgoing message). During the last 5 seconds the lamp will blink rapidly. After the 16 seconds the unit will beep again and will stop recording the message. Of course, the recording will stop prior to 16 seconds if you release the RECORD button.

The FAX-175 is unique among facsimile machines in that a caller, even with a fax message can

hear your voice (provided the TAD is ON). This is illustrated in the sample OGM below:

"This is (your name / company name). Sorry, we are not available now. Leave a message after the tone. You have 16 seconds for your message. If you wish to send us a

facsimile message, push the STAR (*) button on your telephone keypad when you hear our message or simply hit the START button after the second tone."

NOTE: The OGM can say "28 seconds" instead of "16 seconds" or whatever number you've

selected. The method of selection is discussed below. The timing (i.e., 28 seconds or 16 seconds) refers to the length of the ICM - the incoming message, i.e., the message left by a caller on your TAD.

When the caller presses the STAR (*) button within five (5) seconds after hearing your OGM, the FAX-175 will change from TAD mode to facsimile mode. If the STAR (*) button is not pushed, the unit will beep and the caller can record a message. After the caller's message is

recorded, the unit beeps again and the unit goes into the fax mode. If no fax message is forthcoming within 30 seconds, the FAX-175 releases the phone line.

If you are present while all of the above is going on, you can hear the entire above operation using the monitor mode through the speaker.

The TAD function of the FAX-175 is an enhancement of the unit's facsimile capabilities. Even though the unit cannot record very long messages (as can be done on traditional answering machines), the FAX-175 offers remarkable flexibility with a high quality TAD.

B. Playback of the OGM

To verify that you've recorded an appropriate message, press the TAD button. The TAD lamp

will light. The OGM message will be heard over the unit's speaker. If you are dissatisfied with the message, simply press the RECORD button and the unit will be available for re-recording of the message.

C. Playing back the callers' messages and voice memos

If someone called your unit and left a message or you and/or a member of your family or

someone in your office left a voice memo, the ICM lamp or the MEMO lamp will light. To

retrieve the message, disengage the TAD by pressing the TAD button (top check this, see

whether the TAD lamp is OFF). Then press the MEMO button. You will hear the recorded message through the unit's speaker. If there is more than one message, the unit will emit a 3second beep between messages.

Page 28

To skip to the next message, press the MEMO button while a message is playing. The unit will

emit a 1-second beep before the next message.

If you need to stop the playback of a caller’s message or a memo, press MEMO and STOP

buttons during the playback or during the beeping between the messages or memos.

If you had to stop listening to recorded messages during a message-separating beep, and you

now wish to resume listening, you can do so in two different ways:

1. Pressing the MEMO button once will play back the messages from the top of the very first message.

2. Pressing the MEMO and START/COPY buttons together will let you resume the playback just before the point where you've stopped earlier.

If you had to stop listening to playback in the middle of a message —

1. Pressing the MEMO button will start you off at the very beginning of the recorded messages.

2. Pressing the MEMO and the START/COPY button will start you off with the message which was interrupted.

D. Erasing the messages/memos

Make sure that the TAD switch is OFF. To erase a message or a memo press the FINE/PHOTO and RECORD buttons simultaneously

while the message or memo is playing or during the beep following this message. You will hear a

1 -second beep and the message or memo will be erased.

To erase all messages or memos, press FINE and RECORD buttons when the message or rmemo

is not playing. You will hear a 3-second beep.

E. Remote operation of the TAD

The messages recorded on your FAX-175 TAD can be retrieved from any touch-tone telephone,

provided, you know the security code (to be described below in F). This is how the remote

operation works:

1. Dial the telephone number of your FAX-175 unit.

2. When you hear the OGM (your Outgoing Message), press the # button repeatedly until

you hear a short beep (1 second).

3. Dial in the 3-digit Security Code within 15 seconds of hearing the beep. If the code is

correct, you will hear a short beep (1 second). If the code is incorrect, you will hear a series of short beeps. Try again!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If there are no messages on your TAD, you will hear a series of short beeps.

Now, you are ready to request the FAX-175's TAD to perform some functions. These functions and the remote commands needed to activate them are shown in the table below.

NOTE: A short beep is heard repeatedly for 30 seconds when each function has been completed. To continue with another function, press # within 30 seconds after a 1 sec. beep.

The FAX MESSAGE COUNT is a feature that is unique to Brother. Its main purpose is to save you a trip to check on the arrival of that important fax message you've been waiting for. If the count is zero, there is no need to rush back.

F. Setting the TAD security code

The TAD security code is a three digit number that is designed to prevent unauthorized remote access to the messages recorded on your TAD. The factory setting is 000. To set your own code, follow this procedure:

1. Turn the power OFF.

"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT OR TURNING OFF THE UNITS MAIN POWER SWITCH."

2. Press the HOOK button and keep it depressed until FINE lamp blinks as you turn the power back ON.

The START/COPY lamp will start to blink when the printout is finished.

10. If your entries are incorrect, press the STOP button and then the START/COPY button. The FINE lamp will start to blink. This will bring you back to step 3 where you

can select this procedure all over again.

If your entries are correct, press the START/COPY button to complete the selection

of numbers. Now you have two choices. Choice (1) allows you to continue with

registration of other parameters. To do so, you press START/COPY button again

which will bring you back to step 3 above and where you can use the FINE/PHOTO button to select the desired parameter. Choice (2) is to terminate the registration process by pressng the STOP button.

G. How to change the number of ICM

The unit is capable of recording a total of 112 seconds worth of messages and memos. The factory setting breaks up this total time into seven (7) messages of 16 seconds each. It is

possible, however, that you would prefer longer messages or shorter messages. Since the

total time must stay as 112 seconds, the longer the message the smaller the number of

messages. The table below summarizes your choices: ICM TIME SELECTION

14 seconds 16 seconds 18 seconds 22 seconds 28 seconds

NUMBER OF MESSAGES
