Before you choose the ring pattern to 
register

7

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.

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 pattern 
Very important!

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature 
to On, your Distinctive Ring number will 
receive faxes automatically. The receive 
mode is automatically set to 

Manual

 and you 

cannot change it to another receive mode 
while Distinctive Ring is set to On. Manual 
mode means you must answer all voice calls 
yourself unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail 
set up on your main telephone number.
