Operation from external and
extension telephones 6
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation Code. When you press the Remote
Activation Code l 51 (l 91 for New
Zealand), the machine starts to receive the
fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and fast
double-rings for you to take over, use the
Remote Deactivation Code #51 (#91 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel
mode only) on page 38.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
6
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand) 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 39.)
Using a cordless external
telephone 6
Once the base unit of the cordless telephone
has been connected to the same telephone
line as the machine (see External and
extension telephones on page 49), it is easier
to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you
carry the cordless handset around with you.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.
Using remote codes 6
Remote Activation code 6
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand). Wait for
the chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 39.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and
choose Receive.
Remote Deactivation Code 6
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 (#91 for New Zealand) (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.
