Before you choose the ring pattern to register

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by the Brother machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.

Pattern Rings

1 long-long

2 short-long-short

3 short-short-long

4

very long (normal pattern)

If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call

your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.

■The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.

■The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)

■If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

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 can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
