Telephone Service for
Some Countries
Distinctive Ringing (For
Singapore and Hong Kong)
This machine feature lets you use the
Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered
by some telephone companies, which allows
you to have several telephone numbers on
one telephone line. Each telephone number
has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so
you will know which telephone number is
7
ringing. This is one way you can have a
separate telephone number for your
machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one
telephone number just for receiving faxes.
You will need to set Distinctive Ringing to On.
Note
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn
it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this
function.
The machine will answer only calls to the
Distinctive Ringing number.
