Fax receive code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or

replace the handset. See Fax Detect

Start to send the fax.
Telephone answer code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension phone you
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(make sure you press this between the rings).
