Using Remote Codes
The Remote Activation Code (=H<51) is used in F/T, and MSG CTR modes. The
Deactivation Code (#51) is used only in F/T mode and MSG CTR mode.
Using the Activation Code
When you are at the MFC, you will probably answer incoming calls before your MFC
(or external TAD) is programmed to pick up. If you answer a call and no one seems
to be on the line, assume it is a fax message. Do not hang up. You must activate
your MFC to take over the call first. (If you are holding the MFC’s handset, just press
the Start key and hang up.) If you are on an extension/external phone, press *51 and
wait for your MFC to respond before you hang up.
After 3 seconds you will hear
receiving tones (chirps) through the handset of extension phone. Then hang up. You
can repeat the code as many times as needed. Your MFC will take over the call and
print the fax message. If your caller wants to talk before sending the fax, you can have
a conversation first and then activate your MFC with the code.

Message Center, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to
send a fax, press *51”. (See Chapter 8 “Message Center Mode Settings” for more
information.)
Using the Deactivation Code
When your MFC is in F/T mode, sometimes it will answer a call that is not fax calling
tones (a telephone call or manual fax). It will respond with a double ring (short,
short) to alert you to take over. Because it has already answered the call, only the MFC
will ring, extension phones are no longer connected to the call. Pick up any phone on
the line, except an external phone connected to the MFC.
To take over the call at the MFC;
Pick up the handset of the MFC and talk to the caller as usual. If no one is there or
someone is trying to send you a manual fax, press the Start key and replace the
handset. Your MFC will display RECEIVING and print the incoming fax message.
To take over the call at an extension phone:
Pick up the handset on another telephone and press #51 quickly during the
silence between the double ring pattern. When the MFC hears the code it will
stop ringing and let you speak with the caller. If no one is on the line or someone is
trying to send you a manual fax, send the call back to the MFC (*51).
