Distinctive Ring (Requires Service)
Distinctive Ring (Requires Service)
Important: The distinctive ring function can only be used if you subscribe to a
distinctive ring service from your telephone company. Do not turn on distinctive
ring if you are on a normal line, as the machine will not operate properly.
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company
(such as Fax Duet in Australia), turn on the distinctive ring function to have the
machine signal voice calls and faxes by different ring patterns. The machine
will automatically receive faxes.
To turn on the distinctive ring function, set the “DISTINCTIVE RING” setting to
YES as explained on pages 139 and 140. In addition, the reception mode
must be set to AUTO.
When your fax number is dialled, the machine will signal the call with a special
ringing sound, then answer automatically and begin reception after the
number of rings set with the Number of Rings setting (the initial setting is 2
rings—see page 140).
When your voice number is dialled, the machine will signal the call with the
normal ringing sound to let you know that you must answer personally.
