Remote Activation Code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote Activation Code *51. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset.
If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing the Start button and then selecting the option to receive. (When you set the [Fax Mode] option to [Advanced Mode].)
Remote Deactivation Code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T ring (pseudo/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 #51 (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.
