• If you are using the telephone and it is
located away from your unit, dial 25 (the
default remote receiving ID) on your
telephone and hang up.

4 Start your conversation. If the caller
wants to send a fax after talking to
you, ask them to press the start button
on their fax machine.

• If using the handset, be sure to hang up after you press Start/Copy on the FAX,
otherwise the call will be disconnected.
• The FAX will alert you by beeping if the handset is not hung up properly. Make sure the
handset is seated properly in its cradle. If you do not want the FAX to beep, disable the
OFFHOOK ALARM setting (1 p. 14-4).
• If you cannot activate reception from the telephone, check that the REMOTE RX setting is
enabled (1 p. 14-7).
• You can change the remote receiving ID (1 REMOTE RX ID, p. 14-7), or disable remote
receiving (1 REMOTE RX, p. 14-7).
• If you have an answering machine connected to your FAX that can carry out remote-
control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the
security code for this function may be the same as the remote receiving ID of your FAX. If
this is the case, make sure you change the FAX’s remote receiving ID to make it distinct
from the answering machine’s security code (1 REMOTE RX ID, p. 14-7).
