Do you have Voice Mail?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new
machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
However, the Distincti ve Ring feature allows you to use mor e
than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the
machine can work together w ithout any problems. If each one
has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the othe r’s
operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone
company, you will need to follow the directions below to ‘register’ the
new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine
can recognize its incoming calls.
Before you choose the ring pattern to register
You can only register one Distinctive Ring pat tern with the machine.
Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ri ng patterns below are
supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone
company gives you.
You can change or cancel the Dist inctive Ring pattern at any
time. You can switch it of f temporarily, and turn it back on later.
When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this
feature.
