RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS DISTINCTIVE RINGING

Can I Change the Setting Later?

Yes, you can change or cancel the distinctive ringing setting at any time. You can switch it OFF temporarily and then turn it back ON. When you move or get a new fax number, change the distinctive ringing mode to SET so you can register the new number.

How Will the MFC Treat All Other Numbers?
