External and extension
telephones
Connecting an external or
extension telephone
You can connect a separate telephone to
your machine as shown in the diagram below.
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external or extension
telephone, the LCD shows Telephone.
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation Code. When you press the Remote
Activation Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand),
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Remote Deactivation Code # 5 1 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel
mode only) on page 51.)

the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
7
manual fax.
Press l 5 1 (l 9 1 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 automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 52.)
Using a cordless external
telephone
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension telephones on page 73) and you
typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Remote Activation code
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, you can tell your machine to
7
receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for
the chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 52.) Your caller will
have to press Start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and
choose Receive.
