Remote Call Transfer
In order to use the Activation Voice Code, you should first set REMOTE CODE (Menu/Set, 2, 4)
to ON. (See Changing Remote Codes, page 46.)
This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote cordless phone
externally connected to the fax machine. (See Connecting an External Telephone, page 7.) You can
transfer voice call to the fax machine. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from the fax
machine to the cordless phone.
To transfer telephone call to the fax machine
When you pick up the voice call at remote cordless phone and would like to transfer it to the fax
machine,
1
Press Activation Voice Code 8 1 at remote cordless phone.
2
The fax machine rings (pseudo-ring same as current F/T ring) and the display shows
PICK UP PHONE.
3
Pick up the handset and press Hook or Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only)—OR—Just
press Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only) at the fax machine in order to transfer the voice
call to the fax machine.
If nobody answers at the fax machine, pseudo-ringing stops after 30 seconds. In that case, it may still
be possible to speak with the caller from the cordless phone. Speech between the fax machine and
the cordless phone (= intercom) is not possible.
Don’t hang up the call from the cordless phone until the voice call has been
transferred to the fax machine. You will know when this is because you will no
longer be able to hear or talk to the caller via the cordless phone. If you do not wait
until this point before hanging up from the cordless phone, the call will be lost.
