Distinctive Ring - Sharp FO-2150 Operation Manual

Distinctive Ring

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, your fax 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, your fax 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, your fax machine will signal
the call with a special ringing sound, then answer automatically and
begin reception after the number of rings set with Option Setting 2 (the
factory setting is 2 rings). When your voice number is dialled, the fax
machine will signal the call with the normal ringing sound to let you
know that you must answer personally.
The factory setting is "NO". If set to "YES", both Australian (Fax
Duet) and New Zealand (FaxAbility) 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 fax machine will
not operate properly.
If you turn on distinctive ring, the fax will not operate in TEL/FAX
reception mode.
