What is the Advantage of Using the Distinctive Ringing Function?
Using Distinctive Ringing is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with
receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code or wait 30 seconds to hear fax tones
(P/T mode). And the people who call to talk on your main number, will not have to talk to your
fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second
line.
Which Phone Number Should I Register?
It is a good idea to keep your old number for its original purpose and to register the new number
as your fax number. Remember to give the new fax number to your customers and colleagues.
What Must I Do To Set Up Distinctive Ringing?
To use the Distinctive Ringing feature you must;
1. Get the distinctive ringing service from your telephone carrier.
2. When your distinctive ringing number is available, register it in the function called “Setting
the Distinctive Ringing Function”.
3. Keep the fax machine in MANUAL answer mode (both AUTO and F/T lights turned off.)
Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function
This function is a one-time procedure to register a distinctive ringing number with your fax
machine. Your fax machine will answer the registered number automatically, simulating AUTO
answer mode on a dedicated fax line. You can register only one number. Do not try to set up
this function if you do not have the distinctive ringing service. It mav cause your fax
machine to malfunction.
This procedure is in two parts: First, you must put the fax machine in SET mode; D/R SET MODE
will be on the display screen. Second, you must wait for your friend to call the distinctive ringing
number so you can register the ringing pattern. When a call comes in, do not pick up the handset
until the fax display says PICK UP TO SET. Then pick up the fax handset. If the caller dialed your
distinctive ringing number, press START and check that the display says REGISTERED before
you hang up. If the caller dialed the other number, press STOP and hang up to try again.
Before you begin this function:
1. If you have a telephone answering device, unplug it until after yon have finished registering
the distinctive ringing number.
2. Have a friend ready to call your distinctive ringing number.
KEYS TO PRESS THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW:
1. Press FUNCTION.
2. Press 6 .
