Advanced Receiving Operations

Operation from an External or Extension Telephone

If you answer a fax call on an external or an extension phone, you can make your fax
machine take over the call by using the Activation Code. When you press the
Activation Code
If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take over, use the
Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. The Deactivation Code
is used only in F/T mode. (See Setting F/T Ring Time (Only for F/T receiving mode),
page 5-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you're receiving a fax. At the
machine phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press
for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press
5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE)
before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being received,
you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.
Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case the
deactivation code will not work. It works in Australia.
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using
an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement "to
send a fax, press

For F/T (FAX/TEL) Mode Only

When the FAX/MFC is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ring)
to alert you to a voice call. If you're at the FAX/MFC, you can lift the handset to
answer the call.
If you're at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and press # 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-ring. If no one is on the line, or if
someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the FAX/MFC by pressing
5 1.

Remote Call Transfer

This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote DECT
cordless phone externally connected to the FAX/MFC. You can transfer voice call to
the FAX/MFC. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from the FAX/MFC
to the DECT cordless phone.
5 1, the machine starts to receive a fax. (only in F/T mode)
