Distinctive Ring (For
Singapore and Hong Kong)

This machine feature lets you use the
Distinctive Ring 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 Ring 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 Ring function,
allowing you to dedicate one phone number
just for receiving faxes. You will need to set
Distinctive Ring 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 Ring 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.
