Making the Remote Codes Easier to Use
You can change the codes at any time. It may be easier for you and your callers to press
the same key three times (Example: *** and ###). Although you can change the
codes to any numbers you want, try to avoid using digits for the Activation Code. The
Remote Activation Code can not match any number you dial. If you try to dial a phone
number that includes the Activation Code, your MFC will go into receiving mode.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes other equipment on your phone line reserves a key that is in the Activation
or Deactivation code. (Some answering machines reserve the “*” key.) If the code you
use to retrieve messages from your answering machine causes the line to be
disconnected, try changing the Remote Codes. Change *51 to ### and #51 to 999. The
Remote Activation and Deactivation Codes may not work with some telephone
systems or telephone sets.
NOTE: If you accidentally pick up the extension phone when a fax message is being
received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions
unreadable.
