External and extension
telephones
Connecting an external or
extension telephone
You can connect a separate telephone as
shown in the diagram below.
(Example for Australia)
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
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
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 34.)
46
If you answer a call and no one is on
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
7
Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
1
call. (See Fax Detect on page 35.)
Using a cordless external
telephone
2
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 46), 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
7
receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code
5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for
the chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 35.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start.
