5 - 13
■
The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number.
■
The first two rings are silent on the MFC. 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 MFC 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 
MFC will not answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern
Very important!
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive 
mode is set to 
Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number,
Manual
mode
means you must answer all the calls yourself. You can not change 
the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set 
to on.
