This feature is available only in the USA and Canada. Distinctive Ring is a function of your Brother machine that allows a person with one line to receive fax and voice calls through two different phone numbers on that one line. Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring," but telephone companies market the service under a variety of names, such as Custom Ringing, Personalized Ring, Smart Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz Fax &...
Page 275 Ring Pattern Rings short-short-long very long (normal pattern) • Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short and is the most commonly used. • If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, contact your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.
Page 276 The receive mode is automatically set to [Manual] and you cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive Ring is set to [On]. This ensures the Brother machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere when your main telephone number is called.

When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax.
Page 279 Home > > Telephone Services and External Devices > External TAD (Telephone Answering Device) > Connect an External TAD Connect an External TAD The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the machine, into the jack labeled EXT.
