Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone services
offered by some telephone companies.
Distinctive Ring (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring 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 Ring pattern, so you
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 Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.
■ The fax machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.
■ To have your TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must be in Manual
Mode.
■ In FAX/TEL or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers on the
phone line.
■ The first two rings are silent on the fax machine.
■ When you set Distinctive Ringing to ON, the fax machine becomes in Manual Mode
automatically, and will not accept a change to the Answer Mode.
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service or an alarm
system or other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the
operation of your fax machine. The Distinctive Ring and Caller ID feature may not
be available in certain area.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this function.
