Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ring (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring 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 Ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You will need to set Distinctive Ring to On.

Note

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 machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ring number.

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 cannot change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
