5.1 Distinctive Ring
service from your phone
company
The Distinctive Ring service is a service offered
by your local telephone company. This service
provides several telephone numbers for a single
telephone line, and the ring pattern differs
according to which telephone number the call
was addressed to. Originally, this service was
designed for the purpose of allowing different
ring patterns to distinguish which number the call
was addressed to.
This unit distinguishes the different ring patterns.
If the ring pattern is one which is assigned for a
fax, the fax machine will automatically start fax
reception. This service is convenient if you wish
to have a different number for fax in a single
telephone line.
To use this service, you must subscribe to
the Distinctive Ring service offered by your
local telephone company.

How to receive calls
If the incoming call is for the fax number, the fax
machine will ring with the assigned ring pattern
and automatically start fax reception.
If the incoming call is for the phone number, the
fax machine will keep on ringing.
5.3 Using three or more
phone numbers in a single
telephone line
You may wish to use three or more phone
numbers for a single telephone line to distinguish
which number the call was addressed to. A
different ring pattern must be assigned for each
number.
Example: Using three phone numbers
To use one phone number for the fax, program
the ring pattern assigned for the fax in feature
#32. In the example, the ring pattern assigned for
fax is a triple ring, so you should program “C”
(triple ring).
