machine to receive it by pressing the Remote
Activation Code l51. Wait for the chirping
sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax

press start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external

Colour Start.
Remote Deactivation Code

If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (fast

pick up the call on an extension telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
