Operation from External and Extension Telephones

If you answer a fax call at 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 *51, the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at an extension telephone by pressing the Remote Deactivation Code #51.

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

You should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.

Press *51 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows [Receiving], and then hang up.
