Advanced Receiving
Operation from an External
or Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make your machine take over by
using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code
5 1 , the machine starts to receive
a fax. See “Setting the F/T Ring Time” on page 25.
If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take over, use the Deactivation
Code
# 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in F/T mode.
(You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu/Set , 2 , 4 to use 5 1 or # 5 1 .)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax.
• If you are using the machine phone, press Start , then hang up.
• If you are using an extension phone, press 5 1 , wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang
up.
• If you are using an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the
screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send
the fax.)
Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case the deactivation code will
not work.
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using an external TAD,
your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press
5 1 ”. See
“Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD” on page 11.
For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only
When the machine is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you
to a voice call.
• If you’re at the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.
• If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and
press
# 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-rings.
• If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine
by pressing
5 1 .
Remote Call Transfer
In order to set the Remote Activation, you should first set Menu/Set , 2 , 4 REMOTE CODE to ON.
See “Changing Remote Codes” on page 43.
This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote DECT cordless phone
externally connected to the fax machine. See “Connecting an External Telephone” on page 12.
You can transfer voice call to the fax machine. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from
the fax machine to the DECT cordless phone.
To transfer telephone call to the fax machine
When you pick up the voice call at remote DECT cordless phone and would like to transfer it to the
fax machine,
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being
received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.
