Using a cordless external
telephone
(Not for FAX-1560) 7
Once the base unit of cordless telephone has
been connected to the same telephone line
as the machine (see External and extension
phones on page 40), it is easier to answer
calls during the Ring Delay if you carry the
cordless handset around with you.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Tel or Tel/R or Speaker Phone to send 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 31.) Your caller will have to
press Start to send the fax.
Telephone answer code 7
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 phone you
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(make sure you press this between the rings).
Changing the remote codes 7
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes. The preset
Fax Receive Code is l51. The preset
Telephone Answer Code is #51. If you want
to, you can replace them with your own
codes.
