Can I Change the Setting Later?
Yes, you can change or cancel the distinctive ringing setting at any time. You can
switch it OFF temporarily and then turn it back ON. When you move or get a new fax
number, change the distinctive ringing mode to SET so you can register the new
number.
H ow W ill the M FC Treat All O ther N um bers?
If you have registered the distinctive ringing number, the MFC will answer the
registered number (with fax receiving tones) and receive faxes automatically. When
a call comes in to your main number or to additional distinctive ringing numbers, all
the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls
on the other number(s). (See the chart on page 81.)
If you change the answer mode on the MFC to Fax or F/T, that setting will override
the Distinctive Ringing setup. In Pax or PyT modes, your MFC will answer all the
phone numbers (including its own ring pattern).
External Telephone Answering D evice (TAD ) Answers O ther N um ber(s) on
the Line:
An external telephone answering device (TAD) can be set up to work with the
Distinctive Ringing function. The external TAD must be set to its maximum number
of rings (at least 4 ring patterns). Otherwise, it will answer the registered fax number
before the MFC has time to recognize the ringing pattern. The external TAD’s OGM
(outgoing message) will answer your main number(s) if you do either #1 or #2 as
follows:
1. Plug the external TAD into the EXT jack of the MFC (you will not hear the first two
rings on the MFC). Put your machine in Manual mode (Fax and F/T lights oil).
2, Plug the external TAD into another phone jack and put the MFC in Manual mode
(Fax and F/T lights turned ofD.
