Distinctive Ringing - Sharp FO-1650 Operation Manual

Distinctive ringing in FAX mode
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by some local telephone companies which
allows you to use up to four different telephone numbers, each with a different
ringing pattern, on your regular single line. If you subscribe to a distinctive ringing
service, you can set your fax to automatically answer when it detects one of those
ringing patterns, thereby allowing you to use the number corresponding to that
pattern as an exclusive fax number.
Important:
To use distinctive ringing, you must subscribe to a distinctive ringing service from
your local phone company. Do not make this setting if you do not subscribe to a
distinctive ringing service.
Your fax may not be compatible with some distinctive ringing services.
When using this feature, you must set the reception mode of your fax to FAX as
described in "Receiving a Document" in Chapter 3. When your designated fax
number is dialed, your fax will automatically answer and begin reception after two
rings. Note that other devices on the same line will also ring until your fax answers.
If one of your other numbers is dialed, the fax will ring; however, it will not answer.

pressing the panel keys as shown on the following page. The selections are as
follows:
