How DRPD responds to calls____________
When there is an incoming call, the FAXPHONE checks the incoming ring pat­
tern and determines the type of pattern being received. The FAXPHONE may
require up to 10 seconds to determine the pattern type, and during this time the
FAXPHONE does not ring. After the pattern is detected, the FAXPHONE reacts
according to how you registered the setting.

TEL Ignores fax transmissions. Receives telephone calls, and

Communicating using the Distinctive Ring Pat­
tern Detection (DRPD) feature____________________
Using the FAXPHONE with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a nor­
mal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the FAXPHONE responds some­
what dilferently. as described below.
The DRP service is commonly used with automatic receiving only.
■ FAXPHONE set for automatic receiving
(no icons above the [ANS HOOK UP/MANUAL] button)
When the FAXPHONE is set for automatic receiving, the FAXPHONE operates ac­
cording to the mode set lor the registered setting (TEL. FAX, or FAX/TEL .SWITCH).
If FAX/TEL SWITCH is set. the difference between incoming telephone calls and fax
transmissions will be detected.
I When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, the
FAXPHONE rings in the pattern you registered in the above procedure. When you
hear the telephone call ring pattern, simply pick up the handset (or extension phone
connected to the FAXPHONE) and talk. If you do not pick up the handset, the
FAXPHONE continues to ring until the other party hangs up.
I When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax communication, the
FAXPHONE does not ring. It receives the document automatically.
