For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Hook to answer.
If you're at an extension phone, you will need
to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time
and then press #51 between the
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing l51.

Connecting an external phone

You can connect a separate telephone
directly to your machine as shown in the

handset
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
EXT. jack of the machine (see page 53) 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 transfer the call to the cordless
handset.
