Remote Retrieval

Remote fax retrieval is accomplished via remote control access commands, which are described
in the remainder of this chapter.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

When to Press the Remote Access Code

Just after the line is connected, you should enter the remote access code from any
touch tone phone. Make sure that you enter the remote access code while you do NOT
hear any chirping sound of a fax machine. If the fax machine is set to MANUAL
mode, it will answer the call after about 20 rings (about 100 seconds). You will have
30 seconds to press the remote access code or the line will be disconnected.
