Distinctive Ringing
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 follow the directions
below to “register” the new Distinctive Ringing pattern, that was assigned by
the Telephone Company, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ringing pattern at any time. You
can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, be sure to reset this function.
If you are not sure which ring pattern you have call your telephone
company. Then assign your ring pattern in the steps below.
You can register only one Distinctive Ringing pattern with the fax machine.
Some ringing patterns cannot be registered.
