CHAPTER FIVE
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ring 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 Ring pattern, that was
assigned by the Telephone Company, so your fax machine can recognize its
incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can
switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this function.
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine.
Some ringing 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.
