Using remote codes

Fax Receive Code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by pressing the fax receive code
l51 (l91 for New Zealand). Wait for the
chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 48.)
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 telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press
this between the rings).
