What does Brother’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

The Brother MFC has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to 
use your MFC to take full advantage of the telephone company’s 
Distinctive Ring service. The new phone number on your line can just 
receive faxes.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new 
MFC on, 

there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the MFC will 

conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls

However, the 

Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one 
number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the MFC can work 
together without any problems

. If each one has a separate phone 

number, neither will interfere with the other’s operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone 
company, you will need to follow the directions below to ‘register’ the 
new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your MFC can 
recognize its incoming calls.

You must pay for your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring 
service before you program the MFC to work with it.

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any 
time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on later. 
When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this 
feature.
