Operation from an External or Extension Telephone
An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into your MFC (either into the MFC’s EXT socket or into the back of the connector that plugs into the telephone wall socket).
An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as your MFC, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For example, your MFC may be connected to a phone line in your study, and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone number) in your kitchen. This feature enables you to answer the phone in the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee, knowing that you can transfer the call to your MFC if the incoming call is a fax.
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make your MFC take over by using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code

5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press 
5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVING) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using a external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press 
5 1”.
For Fax/Tel Mode Only
When the MFC is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T
