Distinctive Ring
7
This machine feature lets you use the
Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered
by some telephone companies, which allows
you to have several telephone numbers on
one telephone line. Each telephone number
has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so
you will know which telephone number is
ringing. This is one way you can have a
separate telephone number for your
machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one
telephone number just for receiving faxes.
You will need to set Distinctive Ringing to On.
Note
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn
it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this
function.
• This machine will answer only calls to
the Distinctive Ring number.
Turning on Distinctive Ring
Very important!

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to on, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You cannot
change the receive mode to another mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on. When
distinctive Ring is on, the LCD will show D/R
as the Receive Mode.
