Using a cordless external
telephone 7
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
telephone line cord (See External and
extension telephones on page 57) and you
typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.
Using remote codes 7
Remote Activation code 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). Wait for
the chirping sounds then replace the handset.
(See Fax Detect on page 40.) Your caller will
have to press Start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start.
Remote Deactivation code 7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(#9 1 for New Zealand) (make sure you press
this between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Hook.
Changing the remote codes 7
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes. The preset
Remote Activation Code is l 51 (l 9 1 for
New Zealand). The preset Remote
Deactivation Code is #51 (#9 1 for New
Zealand). If you want to, you can replace
them with your own codes.
