CHAPTER NINE
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine.
Some ring patterns cannot be registered.
The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered 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 and on a telephone or
TAD connected to its EXT jack.
