Operation from external and
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, the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and fast
double-rings for you to take over, use the
Remote Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the
call at an extension telephone.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
Assume you are receiving a manual fax.
Press l 5 1 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 28.)
Using a cordless external
telephone
Once the base unit of the cordless telephone
has been connected to the same telephone
line as the machine (See External and
extension telephones on page 37.), you can
answer calls on the cordless handset during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine and press Hook to
send the call to the cordless handset.
