If you answer a fax call on an external or extension 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 answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Start.

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).

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Hook.

You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Remote Activation Code and Remote Deactivation Code.

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.
