Distinctive Ring is a service offered by your local
telephone company which allows you to use
several telephone numbers on one telephone
line. When a call is made to one of your phone
numbers, the telephone company sends a ring
pattern to your telephone line to indicate which
number the call is intended for. By setting up this
unit for Distinctive Ring, you can make the fax
machine automatically start fax reception when
a call comes to the fax number.
To use this service, you must subscribe to
the Distinctive Ring service offered by your
local telephone company.

5.3 Using three or more
phone numbers on a
single telephone line
You may wish to use three or more phone
numbers for a single telephone line. In order to
distinguish which number the call was
addressed to, a different ring pattern must be
assigned for each number.
Example: Using three phone numbers
To use one phone number for the fax, program
the ring pattern assigned for the fax in feature
#32 (page 64). In the example, the ring pattern
assigned for fax is a triple ring, so you should
program “C” (triple ring).
