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 fax machine
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 fax
machine 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 FAX /TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax
machine will answer calls for all the numbers.
Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern

Be sure to choose the pattern assigned by the telephone company.
5

Caller ID
The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows
the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the 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.
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to
determine the kind of service available in your area.
Caller ID Log
Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s
memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about
the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information
to review those calls made to your fax machine.
CALL PICKUP remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information was
transmitted
OUT OF AREA means the call originates outside your Caller ID sevice area
PRIVATE CALL means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of
information
