Using Remote Codes

Remote Activation Code
If you answer a fax call on an external or
extension telephone, you can tell your
machine to receive it by pressing the Remote
Activation Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand).
Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the
handset. (See Fax Detect uu page 32.) Your
caller will have to press start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Start.
Remote Deactivation Code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T ring
(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 #51 (#91 for New Zealand) (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 external telephone by
pressing Hook.
