The most common problem, is someone 
picking up an extension telephone while the 
machine is trying to send a fax.
Such problems can easily be eliminated, if 
you arrange modification of your extension 
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are 
connected “downstream” of your machine, in 
a master/slave configuration (see figure 2). In 
such a configuration, this machine can 
always detect whether a telephone is in use, 
so it will not attempt to seize the line during 
that time. This...

Remote Deactivation Code7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is 
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T 
(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 Tel/R.
