Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong
Kong)
This MFC 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 MFC.
Your MFC 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.
The MFC will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing
number.
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On , the receive
mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode
means you must answer all the call yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive
Ring is set to on.
