If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote Activation code 51. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect.) Your caller will have to press start to send the fax.
If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension telephone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51 (make sure you press this between the rings).
The preset Remote Activation code is 51. The preset Remote Deactivation code is #51. If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD, try changing the three-digit remote codes, for example ### and 555.
