Connecting an External or Extension Telephone to the Unit
You may connect an external or extension telephone to your fax machine, as shown below. Use
the “EXT.” jack on your fax machine.
Alternatively, you may wish to use this “EXT,” jack to connect a telephone answering device
(TAD).
When the external telephone is in use the warning message “EXTERNAL TEL IN USE” will be
displayed.
Then the handset on the fax machine is picked up, an alarm will sound. You can disconnect the
external phone and switch to fax machine by pressing HOOK.
Using Remote Codes ________________________________________
If you are on an external phone (or extension phone), and you get an in coming fax call, you can
transfer the call back to your fax machine by entering a remote activation code. In the same
situation, if you get 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 extension phone. In essence you
have one remote code to activate your faxmachine and one remote code to deactivate it. The remote
code to activate is
and the remote code to deactivate is “#51”. If you want to set your
own code, see the following section, “Registering Remote Codes”.
