External and extension
telephones
Note
You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
Code l51 and Remote Deactivation Code

on page 41.)
Connecting an external or
extension telephone
You can connect a separate telephone
directly to your machine as shown in the
diagram below.
(Example for U.K.)
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
Operation from external or
extension telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine through
the T-piece connection, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation code. When you press the Remote
Activation code l51 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
6
manual fax.
Press l51 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 tactically take the call. (See
Fax Detect on page 35.)

For Fax/Tel mode only

6
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Tel/R to answer.
1
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 between the fast
2
double-ringings. 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.
Using extension telephones
(U.K. only)
Your premises may already be wired with
parallel extension telephones (those
connected to sockets in other rooms in the
building), or perhaps you intend to add
6
extension telephones to your line. While the
simplest arrangement is a parallel
connection, there are some reasons why this
arrangement may cause problems.
The most common problem, is someone
picking up an extension telephone while the
machine is trying to send a fax.
