Muratec F-65 operating instructions Set DRD, DRDOff, DRDOn, Ring Pattern a, Ring Pattern C

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example, “short-short-long” — of their DRD ring patterns. Fortunately, though, your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD. One of them should work with your phone company’s DRD service. This chart lists the patterns:

Pattern	One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A	0.8 on, 0.4 off
B	0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C	0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D	1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 ms off
E	0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F	0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G	0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H	1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off
I	2 on, 4 off

For example: pattern C is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,

0.2seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent; then it goes back to the first 0.3-second ring and starts over.

To use DRD on your fax machine:

1 Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up DRD service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone company has assigned you.

2 Press PROGRAM, J, 1, 8.

Set DRD

3 Press ENTER. The LCD shows:

DRD:Off

If you see the setting you want, skip to step 5.

If not, go on to step 4.

4 To change the setting, press or once or twice until the mode you want appears. Here, we chose On.

DRD:On

Beyond the basics

5 Press ENTER.

Ring Pattern: A

6 If “A” is the pattern you want, skip to step 8. If not, proceed to step 7.

7 Press or repeatedly until your desired pattern appears (in our example here, “C”):

Ring Pattern: C

8 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to use your machine’s DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call the Muratec Customer Support Center. From the United States, call 972-364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check your in-box documentation).

Important: With your machine set for DRD, it won’t respond to any ring pattern other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4. But in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called MONITOR/CALL? Now, we will explain the CALL part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the same call (although, obviously, not at the same time). This is called a call request. It does not matter whether you are sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.

Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar call-request capability.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

To send or receive a fax first and then talk:

1 While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/CALL.

2 At the remote fax machine, the ringer will ring after that machine receives each page.
