DISTINCTIVE RINGING
♦Note that the above assignment of ringing patterns to boxes is not affected by the distinctive ringing setting for FAX mode described on the previous page. The above assignment is effective when the fax is in TAD mode, and the selection made for FAX mode is effective when the fax is in FAX mode.
An outgoing message must be recorded for each box used with distinctive ringing. If an outgoing message is not recorded for a box, the answering machine will not answer when the corresponding number is dialed. However, if you have selected that ringing pattern for fax reception in FAX mode as described on the previous page, the fax will answer that pattern and receive a document just like it does in FAX mode.
As an example, you could have the answering machine answer only the standard ringing pattern by recording an outgoing message only for the General Box. The other patterns would be left free, so you could use one of them for fax reception as described on the previous page, and another for a computer modem or other device.
