Setting the F/T Ring Time

You need to determine how long the machine will notify you with its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 (for the U.K. and others) or 20, 30, 40, or 55 (for IRE) seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo-ring.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.

You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
