   APPENDIX A

Before you choose the ring pattern to register

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. 
Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are 
supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone 
company gives you.

■

The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.

■

The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the 
fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern 
that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will 
ring.)

■

If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the 
registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns 
and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is 
called, the machine will not answer.
