Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one telephone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the telephone line
that you will install your new MFC on, there is
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
MFC will conflict with each other while
receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the MFC can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separate telephone number, neither will
interfere with the other's operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions to 'register' the
new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you.
This is so your MFC can recognize its
incoming calls.
