If you answer a call that is a fax message, you can use the Remote Activation Code to make your
fax machine take over the call. If your fax machine answers a telephone call that is for you, you
can use the Remote Deactivation Code to pick up the call at an extension phone. (You do not need
a code to take over a call at the fax machine.) You must use a touch tone phone.

You may connect an external 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). An extension phone is a telephone
that is plugged into a separate wall jack on the same line.
