Using Remote Codes
If you are on an external phone (or extension phone), and you receive an incoming fax call, you
can transfer the call back to your fax machine by entering a remote activation code. In the same
situation, if you receive a telephone call from someone who requests that you switch on your fax,
you can transfer the call back to your fax machine with this code. Also, you can deactivate the fax
machine with another remote code during the F/T ringing from an extension phone. In essence
you have one remote code to activate your fax machine and one remote code to deactivate it. The
remote code to activate I s “^51”, and the remote code to deactivate is If you want
to set your own code, see the following section, “Registering Remote Codes”.
You should check other equipment that will be on the same telephone line to insure that there
is no conflict with our codes. (Our codes can be changed, see below.)

disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable. Error codes may be
