Brother MFC-6800 - Manual (Page 79)

VERY IMPORTANT
If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to
keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the
MFC in
MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature.
Here’s why: MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is
«Neutral». When the MFC is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring
Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering
mode. So, do not activate
FAX ONLY mode or EXT. TEL/TAD mode while
using distinctive ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the
numbers.
Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern

Caller ID
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name,
if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears
from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■
You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
■
OUT-OF-AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service
area.
■
PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
■
CALL PICKUP display remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information
was transmitted.
If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name. You
can print a list of Caller ID information received by your MFC. (See
Printing
Caller ID List , page 8-4.)
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by
many local telephone companies. This service provides you, by means of the
LCD, the name or telephone number of your caller as the line rings.
