Using remote codes

Remote Activation code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Fax Detect
on page 45.)
Remote Deactivation Code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in Fax/Tel mode, it will start to sound the F/T
Ring (a 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 (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 machine's handset by
pressing Speaker Phone.
Changing the remote codes
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes. The preset
Remote Activation Code is l 5 1. The preset
Remote Deactivation Code is # 5 1. If you
want to, you can replace them with your own
