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.

Before you choose the ring pattern to register

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

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.
