Using remote codesRemote Activation code

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 52.) Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.

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

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (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

#5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) (make sure you press this between the rings).

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Hook.

If you want to use Remote Activation, you have to turn on the remote codes. The preset Remote Activation Code is l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). The preset Remote Deactivation Code is # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand). If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes.
