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. 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. 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. Ring Pattern 1 Rings long-long 2 short-long-short 3 short-short-long 4 very long (normal pattern) If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown. 5 - 11 SETUP RECEIVE
