Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern Very important!; Turning off Distinctive Ring; Caller ID- Page 62

Note

If the ring pattern you received is not on 
this chart, 

please call your telephone 

company and ask for one that is 
shown

.

„

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.

Registering the Distinctive Ring

Caller ID

7

Caller ID is a subscriber service offered by 
many telephone companies. Call your 
telephone company for specific details. Your 
machine can display the telephone number or 
name of your caller, if it is available, as the 
line rings. When you pick up the handset, the 
LCD will stop displaying this information. 
Your machine will store it in the Caller ID 
memory.

During a call Caller ID may display one of the 
messages below:

„

Out of area

This message means that the call came 
from outside your Caller ID area.

„

Private Call

The caller has blocked their Caller ID.
