Distinctive ring is a telephone company service that
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer
several different telephone numbers. Each phone
number is identified by a distinctive ringing pattern
consisting of various combinations of long and short
ringing sounds.

company.

panel to teach it the ring pattern it should answer:

3. Press Start.
4. Call the telephone number that you want the
distinctive ring pattern to recognize.
NOTE: You have three minutes to call the
A1500 to learn the distinctive ring. If three
minutes have passed, follow these steps again.
5. The A1500 will learn the ring pattern.
6. Press Setup then the Menu button to access the
FAX RECEIVE MODE menu. Press the Options
button to select DRPD mode.

When the distinctive ring pattern is detected, the All-
In-One answers the call on the second ring and
receives a fax automatically. All other ring patterns
will be ignored.
