The Ring Delay sets the number of times the
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only
or Fax/Tel mode. If you have external or
extension phones on the same line as the
machine or subscribe to the telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service, keep the
ring delay setting of 4.
(See Using external and extension
telephones on page 49 and Easy Receive on
page 39.)
If toll saver is On, then the ring delay setting
has no effect. See Setting toll saver on page

(Fax/Tel mode only)

If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call,
the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings and no other phones on the
same line will ring with the special
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still
answer the call on any telephone on the same
line as the machine. (See Using external and
extension telephones on page 49.)

Even if the caller hangs up during the
pseudo/double-ringing, the machine will
