If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine through
the T-piece connection, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation code. When you press the Remote
Activation code l51 (l91 for New Zealand)
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.

Press l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and wait for
the chirp or until the Touchscreen shows
Receiving, and then hang up.
NOTE
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call (see Fax Detect on page 47).

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
(Example
for
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
Australia)
then press Pickup to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 (#91 for New
Zealand) between the fast double-rings. If no
one is on the line, or if someone wants to
send you a fax, send the call back to the
machine by pressing l51 (l91 for New
Zealand).
