Setting Ring Delay
The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings
before it answers. If you have extension phones on the same line as the
machine, keep the Ring Delay default setting of 4. (See Easy Receive,
page 5-3 and Operation from External or Extension Telephones and For
FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-7.)

Setting F/T Ring Time
You must determine how long the machine will notify you with its special
double ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine rings, for 20,
30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special
double ring. However, you can also answer the call on any extension
phone on the same phone number as the machine.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to FAX/TEL Mode,
all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in
Ring Delay.
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call.
If it’s a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine
signals you with a double ring for the length of time you selected in
F/T Ring Time.
Even if the caller hangs up during the double ringing, the machine
continues ringing for the set time.
