If you answer a fax call at an extension or an external telephone, you can make your machine take the call by using the Remote Activation Code. When you press the Remote Activation Code *51 (*91 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at an extension telephone by pressing the Remote Deactivation Code#51 (#91 for New Zealand).
If you answer a call and no one is on the line:
You should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.
Press *51 (*91 for New Zealand) and wait for the chirp or until the LCD displays Receiving, and then hang up.
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine automatically take the call.
