Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some
telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each
phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you'll know which phone number is
ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number
just for receiving faxes. You'll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this function.
