FOR YOUR INFORMATION
While You Are Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function:
1. When someone calls your fax machine, it will continue to ring until you pick up the
handset or press HOOK, even if you have set the number of rings.
2. If you get a call and the ring pattern is NOT the one you want to register, press
STOP. (See step 8 above to cancel programming.)
3. There are some ring patterns that cannot be registered. Try a different one.
4. Answer mode is automatically switched to MANUAL during registration. The
answer mode that you had set before distinctive ringing registration will flash.
Once You Have Finished Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function:
1. Some Telephone Answering Devices may pick up a call before your fax machine
finishes detecting the ringing pattern. We suggest you set your Answering Device
ring delay to its maximum setting.
2,
You will not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the fax machine.
However, other extension phones connected to the same line, or any external
phones connected to the fax machine will ring. If the fax machine recognizes the
distinctive ring pattern, it will accept the call automatically as an incoming fax,
and you will not hear further ringing. If it does not, you will hear the phones
continue to ring, and the fax machine will also ring.
3.
You can still receive faxes on numbers other than the one you registered. The fax
machine will respond to these calls according to how you have set the answer mode
(MANUAL, AUTO, F/T, or TAD (1350M)/MSG CTR 1450MC/1550MC, 1850MC/
1950MC)).
Helpful Hints
Remember that you should let your phone ring at least twice before answering
to allow the fax machine to pick up first if necessary. Answering an incoming
call before two rings will defeat the purpose of the distinctive ringing function.
You should turn the distinctive ringing function to OFF temporarly if you move
and/or get a new number. To turn off the distinctive ringing set-up go into
function mode. (See page 7-18.)
