For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only

When the machine is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.

If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and press # 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing 5 1.

Remote Call Transfer

In order to set the Remote Activation, you should first set Menu, 2, 4 REMOTE ACT to ON (see Changing Remote Codes).

This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote DECT cordless phone externally connected to the fax machine. You can transfer voice call to the fax machine. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from the fax machine to the DECT cordless phone.

To transfer telephone call to the fax machine

When you pick up the voice call at remote DECT cordless phone and would like to transfer it to the fax machine,

1Press Activation Voice Code 8 1 at remote cordless phone.

2The fax machine rings (pseudo-ring same as current F/T ring) and the display shows “ PICK UP PHONE”.

3Pick up the handset and press Tel or Speaker Phone––OR––just press Speaker Phone at the fax machine in order to transfer the voice call to the fax machine.

Don’t hang up the call from the cordless phone until the voice call has been transferred to the fax machine. You will know when this is because you will no longer be able to hear or talk to the caller via the cordless phone. If you do not wait until this point before hanging up from the cordless phone, the call will be lost.

If nobody answers at the fax machine, pseudo-ringing stops after 30 seconds. In that case, it may still be possible to speak with the caller from the cordless phone. Speech between the fax machine and the cordless phone (= intercom) is not possible.
