Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

This MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you’ll know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your MFC.

Your MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.

You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

■The MFC will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.

■To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the MFC must be in Manual Mode.

■In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, the MFC will answer all numbers on the phone line.
