Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing
subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which
allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line.
Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so
you'll know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you
can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you
to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You'll need
to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When
you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.
■
The fax machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive
Ringing number.
■
To have your external TAD answer only the main number,
the fax machine must be in Manual Mode.
■
In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will
answer all numbers on the phone line.
If you set the Distinctive Ringing to ON, the receive mode will
turn to Manual mode automatically.
Only in the MC mode, even if you set the Distinctive Ringing
to ON, the receive mode will not be changed.
