not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialing.

used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax

retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

a handset, it will function as an extension telephone, as described in "Extension telephone" which
follows in this chapter.
