Beyond the basics
In order that you may use OneLine +
DRD
your distinctive ring service. When it does, it will assign a ring pattern, expressed in time.
For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds "on" (ringing) and 4 seconds "off"
(silent), after which it repeats itself (hence the term, ring pattern).
Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example, "short-
short-long" — of their ring patterns. Fortunately, however, your machine has eight
DRD
possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine +
your phone company's service.
