Ring Delay
6
The Ring Delay sets the number of times the 
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only 
or Fax/Tel mode. If you have external or 
extension telephones on the same line as the 
machine, keep the ring delay setting of 4 
rings.
(See Using external and extension 
telephones on page 73 and Easy Receive 
on page 49.)
If toll saver is On, then the ring delay setting 
has no effect. See Setting toll saver 
on pages 86.

F/T Ring Time 
(Fax/Tel mode only)
6
When somebody calls your machine, you and 
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring 
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring 
delay setting. 
If the call is a fax, then your machine will 
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the 
machine will sound the F/T Ring (a fast 
double-ring) for the time you have set in the 
F/T Ring time setting. If you hear the F/T Ring 
it means that you have a voice caller on the 
line.
Because the F/T Ring is made by the 
machine, extension and external telephones 
will not ring; however, you can still answer the 
call on any telephone. (For more information 
see Using remote codes on page 74.)
