Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the telephone 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 Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the Machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate telephone number, neither will interfere with the other's operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions to 'register' the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you.

This is so your Machine can recognize its incoming calls.
