Brother Fax-700 - Manual (Page 46)

4. W BASIC USES
• If your external TAD has a paging function^ connection to
the fax unit may prevent the paging function from work-
ing.
• We recommended that you insert your remote activation
code into your OGM of your TAD, This will allow manual
transmissions to be sent into the fax machine after the code
is recognized.
A sample message is:
"Hello my name is—. You have reached my telephone an­
swering machine but if you wish to send a fax please press
XXX (remote activation code) now."
Remote activation
You can activate the fax machine from a remote telephone.
This is useful if your extension telephone is located in a dif­
ferent room or if it is being used on a multi-line telephone
service.
Remote activation allows you to receive a call on a telephone
that is either connected from the fax unit, or is connected in
parallel to your telephone line (extension telephone), but
need not be located near the fax unit. If an in-coming call
is a fax transmission, or after talking to the distant end they
wish to send a fax, simply enter the Remote Activation Code
(tone type) using your telephone keypad and start fax tones
being sent out by your unit.
- If you wish to pick up telephone remotely during the time
that the fax machine is F/T ringing, simply insert remote
deactivation code (tone type) which will turn off fax
machine.
- If you accidently pick up your extension or external tele­
phone by mistake when you are transmitting or receiving
a FAX, there may he some slight distortion of the docu­
ment.
- If you are using an extension or external telephone, he sure
to use " * " and!or "#" for the Remote Activation/Deacti-
vation Code. (This will help you avoid operation errors.)
- Due to limitations of telephone systems and telephone
sets, remote deactivation can not be guaranteed to work
under all circumstances.
