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, the MFC starts to receive a fax.
If the MFC answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-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 Fax/Tel mode.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a
fax. At the MFC 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 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
pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the MFC, you
can lift the handset to answer.
