VERY IMPORTANT

If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the fax machine in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature. Here’s why: MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral». When the fax machine is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring Feature can be activated. The Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX ONLY mode or FAX/TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.

Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern

5Press Stop/Exit.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. This service provides you, by means of the LCD, the name or telephone number of your caller as the line rings.

After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

■You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).

■OUT OF AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.

■PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

■CALL PICKUP display remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information was transmitted.

If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name. You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your fax machine. (See

Printing Caller ID List, page 9-4.)
