Operation from an External or Extension Telephone

If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make your machine take over by using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code 5 1, the machine starts to receive a fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use the Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in F/T mode.

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the machine phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press 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 RECEIVE) 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.

Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case the deactivation code will not work.

The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press 5 1”.

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.
