Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

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

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

Note

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 call yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to On.
