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
•Ring Pattern #1 is often called
•If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, 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 correctly, 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 called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern Very important!
After you set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, your Distinctive Ring number will receive faxes automatically. The receive mode is automatically set to Manual and you cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This ensures the Brother machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere when your main telephone number is called.
When Distinctive Ring is on, the Touchscreen will show D/R as the Receive Mode.
