Ring 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.
• The machine answers only calls to its registered number.
• The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must <<listen>> to the ring pattern (to
compare it to the pattern that was 'registered'). (Other telephones on the same line ring.)
• If you program the machine correctly, it recognizes the registered ring pattern of the 'fax number' within two
ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the 'voice number' is called, the machine does not
answer.
