How Does the Distinctive Ringing Function Work

?

Your

telephone

number

will

have

the

standard

ring

pattern

of

long

long,

while

the

new

number

could have a ring pattern of short short, long short, etc. When Distinctive Ringing is ON, you will

not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring

as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine

will

answer

and

automatically

receive

the

fax

message.

Otherwise,

you

will

hear

the

extension

phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to at least two ring

patterns before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn

to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either

you, your Message Center or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).
