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 58.)
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 Touchscreen 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 59.)
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 72.), you can
answer calls on the cordless handset during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine and press Hook to
send the call to the cordless handset.
