5.1 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 fax machine 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. Confirm your local telephone company for availability.

How phone calls and faxes are received

If the incoming call is for the fax number, the fax machine will ring with the assigned ring pattern and automatically start fax reception.

If the incoming call is for the phone number:

–the fax machine will keep on ringing in TEL mode.

–the fax machine will record a voice message in TAM/FAX mode.

–fax communication will be attempted in FAX ONLY mode.

Note:

LBe sure to select a tone (Tone 1 to 3) as the cordless handset ringer tone (feature 12 on page 45). If you select a melody, you will not be able to distinguish lines by their ringers.

5.3Using three or more phone numbers on a single telephone line

You may wish to use three or more phone numbers for a single telephone line. In order to distinguish which number the call was addressed to, a different ring pattern must be assigned for each number.
