Before you choose the ring pattern to

register 7
You can only register one Distinctive Ring
pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns
cannot be registered. The ring patterns below
are supported by your Brother machine.
Register the one your telephone company
gives you.
Note
If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart, please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown.
The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
<<listen>> to the ring pattern (to compare
it to the pattern that was ‘registered’).
(Other telephones on the same line will
ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
‘voice number’ is calle d, the machine will
not answer.

Very important! 7
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 can not
change the receive mode to another mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
