When you are using an external or extension
telephone, the LCD shows Telephone.
Operation from extension
telephones 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation Code. When you press the Remote
Activation Code l 51 (l 9 1 for New
Zealand), the machine starts to receive the
fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Remote Deactivation Code #51 ( # 9 1 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel
mode only) on page 51.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:

You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
If you answered at an extension telephone,
press l 51 (l 9 1 for New Zealand) 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 automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 52.)
Using a cordless external
telephone 7
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension telephones on page 73) and you
typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.
