Distinctive Ringing (For
Singapore and Hong Kong) 7
This machine feature lets you use the
Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered
by some telephone companies, which allows
you to have several telephone numbers on
one phone line. Each phone number has its
own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you will
know which phone number is ringing. This is
one way you can have a separate phone
number for your machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You will need
to set Distinctive Ringing to On.
Note
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn
it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this
function.
• The machine will answer only calls to
the Distinctive Ringing number.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring
feature to On, the receive mode is set to
Manual automatically. Unless you have a
TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive
Ring number, Manual mode means you
must answer all the call yourself. You can
not change the receive mode to the other
mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to
on.
