Operation from external and 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, the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and fast double-rings for you to take over, use the Remote Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) uu page 31.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

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

Press l 5 1 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 uu page 32.)

Using a cordless external telephone

Once the base unit of the cordless telephone has been connected to the same telephone line as the machine (see External and extension telephones uu page 37), 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 and press Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes

Remote Activation Code

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation Code l 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect

uupage 32.)

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and 2 to choose Receive when you select the Fax Mode to Advanced Mode. (See Setting the Fax Logic (sending and receiving sequence) uu page 11.)

Remote Deactivation Code

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will start to sound the F/T Ring (fast 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 (make sure you press this between the rings).

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