Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged 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 l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New
Zealand), 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 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel
mode only) on page 36.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
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 37.)

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 48), it is easier
to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you
carry the cordless handset around with you.
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
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 37.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and
choose 2.Receive.
Remote Deactivation Code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T Ring
(fast double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If
you pick up the call on an extension
telephone you can turn the F/T Ring off by
pressing # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) (make
sure you press this between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and fast
double-rings for you to take over, you can
take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Hook.
