Distinctive ringing is a service offered by the telephone carriers that allows you to have several
different numbers on one phone line, so you can have  a separate number for your fax machine.
Each number has its own distinctive ringing pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call,
you can identify the number being called by its ring. Your local telephone company can provide
more information about this service. The service is usually offered as a monthly charge to your
normal telephone bill.

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 (TAD mode) or wait 30 seconds
to hear fax tones (F/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.

Yes, it has a distinctive ringing function that allows you to register the distinctive ringing pattern
of an additional phone number on the line. The number you register must be the number you want
to use as your dedicated fax number. Once you register the ringing pattern, the fax machine will
be able to identify its own incoming calls and automatically receive faxes at that number. You can
register only one ringing pattern. There are some ringing patterns that can not be registered.

you or an answering machine pick up the call. (See the chart on page 7-16.)

If you want the fax machine to allow a telephone answering device (TAD) to answer only the main
number(s), you must leave the fax machine in Manual mode. You can plug the telephone
answering device into either the EXT jack of the fax machine or into a separate phone jack. If the
TAD is in the EXT jack, you will not hear the first  two rings on the TAD. The TAD must be set
to its maximum number of rings (at least 4 ring cycles). Otherwise, it will answer the registered
distinctive ringing number before the fax machine has time to recognize the ringing pattern.

If you change the answer mode on the fax machine to Fax or F/T, that setting will override the
