Remote Activation Code 6
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 51. Wait for the chirping sounds and
then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect
on page 31.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start or
Colour Start and 2 to choose Receive.
Remote Deactivation Code 6
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in Fax/Tel mode, it will start to sound the F/T
Ring (fast 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 fast
double-rings for you to take over, you can
take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Tel/R.
