The inadvisable configuration is shown in 
figure 1, and the recommended master/slave 
configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be 
arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon 
Hull Telecommunications, your PBX 
maintainer or a qualified telephone 
installation company as appropriate. Simply 
explained, the extension telephone circuit 
should be terminated on a normal modular 
plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be 
inserted into the modular socket of the white 
“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the 
line cord assembly.

These phones are now connected as external 
devices as shown on page 49, because they 
are connected to the fax machine via the T-
connector.
Using a cordless external 
handset 7
If your cordless telephone is connected to the 
telephone line cord (see page 49) 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 
Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless 
handset.
Using remote codes 7
Fax Receive Code 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or 
external telephone, you can tell your machine 
to receive it by dialling the fax receive code 
l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then 
replace the handset. See Fax Detect on page 
42.
