Operation from extension telephones

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 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use the Remote Deactivation Code # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) to take the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 51.)

the line:

You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

If you answered at an extension telephone, press l 5 1 (l 9 1 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 52.)

Using a cordless external telephone

If your cordless telephone is connected to the telephone line cord (See External and extension telephones on page 73) 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 Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.
