If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the fax receive code 51. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect.)

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).

You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code and Telephone Answer Code.

The preset fax receive code is 51. The preset telephone answer code is #51. If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD, try changing the three-digit remote codes, for example ### and 555.
