Distinctive Ring (Requires Subscription to
Service)
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company, you
will need to turn on the distinctive ring function. When this is done, the
machine will signal voice calls by the normal ring pattern, and fax
transmissions by a special ring pattern. In the case of a fax transmission, the
machine will automatically answer the call and receive the fax.
The distinctive ring function is used with the reception mode set to FAX. When
your fax number is dialled, the machine will signal the call with a special
ringing sound, then answer automatically and begin reception after the
number of rings set with the Number of Rings setting (the initial setting is 2
rings—see page 91). When your voice number is dialled, the machine will
signal the call with the normal ringing sound to let you know that you must
answer personally.
The initial setting for distinctive ring is NO. If set to YES, (Fax Duet) distinctive
ring are supported.
Important:
♦
The distinctive ring function can only be used if you subscribe to a
distinctive ring service from your telephone company. Do not turn on
distinctive ring if you are on a normal line, as the machine will not operate
properly.
