Step1: Verify you hear the dial tone

1. Press the HOOK key and listen for a dial tone.

    

   • If there is dial tone, press the HOOK key again and go to STEP 2.
      
   • If there is no dial tone, verify the telephone line cord is directly connected from the Brother machine's LINE jack to the wall telephone jack.

      

     • If you are using an analog telephone line and there are splitters, commshare devices, power strips or surge protectors between the wall telephone jack and the Brother machine, please remove them. Removing these devices assists in determining if the issue is related to the device or the Brother machine.
        
     • If you are using a DSL or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone system, there can be multiple types of telephone line connections (modems, interface boxes, phone adapters, splitters, etc). However, a telephone line must be connected to the Brother machine's LINE jack.
