telephones

You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and
Remote Deactivation Code #51 (#91 for
New Zealand). (See Using Remote Codes

Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine 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 51 (l91 for New
Zealand) the machine starts to receive the
fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 (l91 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 take the call. (See
Fax Detect on page 51.)

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 are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 (#91 for New
Zealand) 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 (l91 for New
Zealand).
