service from your phone
company
This service is convenient if you wish to have a
different number for your fax machine and
telephone, even when you use them on a single
telephone line.
Distinctive Ring is a service offered by your local
telephone company which allows you to use
several telephone numbers on one telephone
line. When a call is made to one of your phone
numbers, the telephone company sends a ring
pattern to your telephone line to indicate which
number the call is intended for. By setting up this
unit for Distinctive Ring, you can make the fax
machine automatically start fax reception when
a call comes to the fax number.
To use this service, you must subscribe to
the Distinctive Ring service offered by your
local telephone company.
