Very Important

If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep
one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the fax machine
in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring feature. Here's why:
Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral ». When the fax
machine is in this « neutral » mode, the Distinctive Ring feature can be activated. The
Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX
ONLY mode or FAX /TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax
machine will answer calls for all the numbers.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows
the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if available).
Once you pick up the handset the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
