Making
the
Remote
Codes
Easier
to
Use
You
can
change
the
codes
at
any
time.
It
may
be
easier
for
you
and
your
callers
to
press
the
same
key
three
times
(Example:
***
and
###).
Although
you
can
change
the
codes
to
any
numbers
you
want,
try
to
avoid
using
digits
for
the
Activation
Code.
The
Remote
Activation
Code
can
not
match
any
number
you
dial.
If
you
try
to
dial
a
phone
number
that
includes
the
Activation
Code,
your
MFC
will
go
into
receiving
mode.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes
other
equipment
on
your
phone
line
reserves
a
key
that
is
in
the
Activation
or
Deactivation
code.
(Some
answering
machines
reserve
the
“*”
key.)
If
the
code
you
use
to
retrieve
messages
from
your
answering
machine
causes
the
line
to
be
disconnected,
try
changing
the
Remote
Codes.
Change
*51
to
###
and
#51
to
999.
The
Remote
Activation
and
Deactivation
Codes
may
not
work
with
some
telephone
systems
or
telephone
sets.
N O T E : 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.
