Telephone Service for
Some Countries
Distinctive Ringing (For
Singapore and Hong Kong)
This 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 will
know which phone number is ringing. This is
one way you can have a separate phone
number for your machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You will need
to set Distinctive Ringing to On .
Note
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 machine will answer only calls to the
Distinctive Ringing number.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to On , the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the call yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to the other mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Caller ID (For Singapore and
Hong Kong)
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you
use the Caller ID subscriber service offered
by many local phone companies. This service
provides you, by means of the screen display,
the telephone number (or name) of your
caller as the line rings. (See Printing Caller ID
List on page A-8.)
After a few rings, the screen displays the
telephone number of your caller (or name, if
available). Once you pick up the handset, the
Caller ID information disappears from the
screen, but the call information remains
stored in the Caller ID memory.
■
You will see the first 16 characters of the
number or name.
■
Out of Area display means call
originates outside your Caller ID service
area.
■
Private Call display means the caller
has intentionally blocked transmission of
information.
Note
You can print a list of Caller ID information
received by your machine.
Caller ID service varies with different carriers.
Call your local phone company to determine
the kind of service available in your area.
