Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was assigned by the Telephone Company, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ringing patterns cannot be registered.
■The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.
■To have your TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must be in Manual Mode.
■In FAX/TEL or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers on the phone line.
