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. 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 (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.
