Turning Off Distinctive Ring - Brother MFC-7360N User Manual

Chapter 6
Note
• Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short
and is the most commonly used.
• If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart, please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown.
 The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
 The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
<<listen>> to the ring pattern (to compare
it to the pattern that was 'registered').
(Other telephones on the same line will
ring.)
 If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
'fax number' within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
'voice number' is called, the machine will
not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring
pattern Very important!
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to On, your Distinctive Ring number will
receive faxes automatically. The receive
mode is automatically set to Manual and you
cannot change it to another receive mode
while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This
ensures the Brother machine will only answer
the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere
when your main telephone number is called.
