Manual Mode requires you to answer every incoming call by the handset of a telephone that shares the line with your Brother machine.

Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the Brother machine. Connect the other end of the cord to a telephone wall jack.

If the incoming call is a voice call, then complete the call as you normally would.
