Receiving with a distinctive ring service
This feature can only be used by those who subscribe to a distinctive ring pattern service from their
telephone company. For more information on the availability of this service, please contact your
telephone company before setting this feature to ON.
The distinctive ring service gives you up to 3 phone numbers on a single telephone line, each having a
different ringing pattern. When you use one of the phone numbers as a facsimile number, program the ringing
pattern assigned for fax into your unit. When the unit detects a call matching the selected distinctive ringing
pattern, the unit will activate depending on the receive mode setting.
Setting the distinctive ringing pattern
Program the ring pattern assigned for fax. Ringing patterns that can be programmed are;
A:
Standard ring (one long ring)
B:
Double ring (two short rings)
C:
Triple ring (short-long-short rings)
D:
Other triple ring (short-short-long rings)
OFF: Turns off the ring pattern detection feature (pre-selected setting).
