Operating from external and

If you answer a fax call at an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the

your machine take the call by using the
Remote Activation code. When you press the
Remote Activation code l51 the machine
starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:

You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 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 take the call. (See
Fax Detect on page 50.)
For Fax/Tel mode only 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Tel/R to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 between the
pseudo/double 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 l51.
