F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)

If you set the Receive Mode to
Fax/Tel
, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call,
the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings and no other phones on the
same line will ring with the special
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still
answer the call on any telephone on the same
line as the machine. (See
