Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external
telephone into the correct socket on the machine, you can make
the fax machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code.
When you press the Fax Receive Code
Zealand), the fax machine starts to receive a fax. (See Fax Detect
on page 5-4.)
If the fax machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings
for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 (# 9 1
for New Zealand) to take the call at an extension phone.
(See Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL mode only) on page
5-3.)
If you answer a call and no one is on the line, you should assume
that you're receiving a manual fax.

machine), press

For FAX/TEL mode only

When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring

If you're at an extension or external phone, you'll need to lift the
handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press # 5 1 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand) between the double rings. If no one is on the line, or
if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the fax
machine by pressing

Remote Call Transfer

In order to use this feature, you should first set REMOTE CODE to
ON. (See Changing the remote codes on page 5-7.)
You can use the Remote Call Transfer feature to transfer a voice
call received on a remote cordless phone externally connected to
the fax machine. (See Connecting an external telephone on page
1-8.) You can transfer an incoming voice call to your fax machine,
but you cannot transfer a call from your fax machine to your
cordless phone.
