What Must I Do to Set Up Distinctive Ringing?
To use the Distinctive Ringing feature you must:
1. Get the distinctive ringing service from your telephone carrier.
2. When your distinctive ringing number is available, register it in the function called
“Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function”.
3. Keep the MFC in Manual answer mode (both Fax and F/T lights turned off).
Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function
This function is a one-time procedure to register a distinctive ringing number with
your MFC. Your MFC will answer the registered number automatically, simulating
Fax mode on a dedicated fax line. You can register only
one number. Do not try to
set up this function if you do not have the distinctive ringing service. It may
cause your MFC to malfunction.
This procedure is in two parts: First, you must put the MFC in SET mode; D/R SET
MODE will be on the display screen. Second, you must wait for a friend to call the
distinctive ringing number so you can register the ringing pattern. When a call comes
in, do not pick up the handset of the external and extension telephones until the
MFC’s display says PICK UP TO SET. Then pick up the handset of the external
telephones if you are at the MFC. If the caller dialed your distinctive ringing number,
press the Start key and check that the display says REGISTERED before you hang
up. If the caller dialed the other number, press the Stop key and hang up to try again.
Before you begin this function:
1. If your MFC is connected to a telephone answering device or to the telephone
company’s Voice Mail system, disconnect it before you begin this function.
2. Have a friend ready to call your distinctive ringing number.
1. Press Function.
2. Press 6.
