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.

Caller ID (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many
local phone companies. This service provides you, by means of the screen display, the telephone
number (or name) of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available).
Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the screen, but the call
information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.
■ OUT OF AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.
■ PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of
information.
■ CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was transmitted.
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 fax machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.
■ To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must
be in Manual Mode.
■ In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers
on the phone line.
If both the name and number are received, the screen displays only the name.
You can print a list of Caller ID information received by; your machine.
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local phone company to
determine the kind of service available in you area.
