DISTINCTIVE R INGING RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS
Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function
This function is a one-time procedure to register a distractive ringing number with your fax
machine. Your fax machine will answer the registered number automatically, simulating Fax
answer mode on a dedicated fax line. You can register only one number. Do not try to set up
this function if you do not have the distinctive ringing service. It may cause your fax
machine to malfunction.
This procedure is in two parts: First, you must put the fax machine in SET mode; D/R SET MODE
will be on the display screen. Second, you must wait for a friend to call the distinctive ringing
number so you can register the ringing pattern. When a call comes in, do not pick up the handset
until the fax display says PICK UP TO SET. Then pick up the fax handset. If the caller dialed your
distinctive ringing number, press the Start key and check that the display says REGISTERED
before you hang up. If the caller dialed the other number, press the Stop key and hang up to try
again.
Before you begin this function:
1. Ifyour fax machine is connected to a telephone answering device or to the telephone company's
Voice Mail system, disconnect it before you begin this function.
2. Have a friend ready to call your distinctive ringing number.

carefully to check that the ringing
pattern is the one you want to
register. If it is, wait (at least two
ring cycles) until the display says
