(ring pattern detection feature)

This feature can only be used when you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company. For more information on the availability of this service, contact your telephone company before activating this feature.

What is a distinctive ring service?

A distinctive ring service will give you up to 3 telephone numbers on a single telephone line, each having a different ringing pattern.

Ring patterns:

Standard ring	(one long ring)
Double ring	(two short rings)
Triple ring	(short-long-short rings)

Other triple ring (short-short-long rings)

When you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, you can assign telephone numbers for personal telephone numbers, business telephone numbers, fax telephone numbers, and so on.

When a call is received, you will know which number is being called by the ringing pattern.

Example:

Your telephone number	Ring pattern	Use
012 1234	Standard ring	Personal
012 5678	Double ring	Business
012 9876	Triple ring	Facsimile

To use one of the telephone numbers as a facsimile number

Program the ring pattern assigned to the facsimile number.

When the unit detects a call matching the selected distinctive ring pattern, it will activate depending on the receive mode setting (see the next page).
