Advanced Receiving Operations

Operation from an External or Extension
Telephone

An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into your machine
(either into the machine’s EXT socket or into the back of the connector
that plugs into the telephone wall socket).

An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as your
machine, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For
example, your machine may be connected to a phone line in your study,
and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone
number) in your kitchen. This feature enables you to answer the phone in
the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee, knowing that you
can transfer the call to your machine if the incoming call is a fax.

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-rings for you to take
over, use the Deactivation Code

 to take the call at an extension

phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode. (You
have to set Remote Activation to ON in

.)

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.

The Remote Activation Code can also 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

”.
