8.1 Distinctive Ring service

When a call is made to one of your phone numbers, the
telephone company sends a ring pattern to your
telephone line to indicate which number the call is
intended for. By setting up this unit for Distinctive Ring,
you can make the unit automatically start fax reception
when a call comes to the fax number.
To use this service, you must subscribe to the
Distinctive Ring service offered by your local
telephone company. Consult your local telephone
company for availability.
