NOTE

Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short and is the most commonly used.

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 machine 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 fax tones. When the “voice number” is called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

Very Important!

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, your Distinctive Ring number will receive faxes automatically. You will see D/R when you press FAX and Manual as the Receive Mode setting. You cannot change the Receive Mode from D/R (Manual) to another Receive Mode while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This ensures the Brother machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and will not interfere when your main telephone number is called.
