Note
If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart, please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown.
The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
<<listen>> to the ring pattern (to compare
it to the pattern that was ‘registered’).
(Other telephones on the same line will
ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
‘voice number’ is called, the machine will
not answer.

automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must

change the receive mode to another mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Caller ID 7
Caller ID is a subscriber service offered by
many telephone companies. Call your
telephone company for specific details. Your
machine can display the telephone number or
name of your caller, if it is available, as the
line rings. When you pick up the handset, the
LCD will stop displaying this information.
Your machine will store it in the Caller ID
memory.
During a call Caller ID may display one of the
messages below:
Out of area
This message means that the call came
from outside your Caller ID area.
Private Call
The caller has blocked their Caller ID.
