Ring delay

The ring delay sets the number of times the
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only
and Fax/Tel modes.
If you have extension telephones on the
same line as the machine or subscribe to the
telephone company's Distinctive Ring
service, keep the Ring Delay setting of 4.
(See Operation from extension
telephones on page 55 and Easy
receive on page 46.)

F/T ring time

6
When somebody calls your machine, you and
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring
6
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring
delay setting.
If the call is a fax, then your machine will
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the
machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast
double-ring) for the time you have set in the
F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring
it means that you have a voice caller on the
line.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine,
extension and external telephones will not
ring; however, you can still answer the call on
.
any telephone. (For more information see
Using remote codes on page 56.)
