The Ring Delay sets the number of times the

or Fax/Tel mode. If you have external or
extension phones on the same line as the
machine or subscribe to the telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service, keep the
ring delay setting of 4.

Setting the F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)
5
If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. (If it's a fax call,
the machine receives the fax.)
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings and no other phones on the
same line will ring with the special
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still
answer the call on any telephone.
