If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
7 machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code l 5 1, the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and

pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the
call at an extension phone. (See F/T Ring
Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 40.)

If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l 5 1 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 machine automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 41)
Using a cordless external
telephone
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension phones on page 50.) and you
typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Speaker Phone to send the call to the
cordless handset.
