Operating from external and
extension telephones
If you answer a fax call at an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the
Remote Activation code. When you press the
Remote Activation code l51 (l91 for New
Zealand) the machine starts to receive the
fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and wait for
the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving,
and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine take the call. (See
Fax Detect on page 48.)

then press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 (#91 for New
