If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make
your machine take over by using the Activation Code. When you press
the Activation Code

, the machine starts to receive a fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-ring for you to take
over, use the Deactivation Code

 to take the call at an extension

phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in F/T mode.

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a
fax. At the machine phone, press 

Start

, then hang up. At an extension

phone, press

, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up.

At an external phone, press

 and wait for the phone to be

disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your
caller will have to press 

Start

 to send the fax.)

If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is
being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions
unreadable.

Extension telephones are not pernitted in some countries, in such a case
the deactivation code will not work.

The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you
are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end
with the statement “to send a fax, press

”.
