■ The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number. ■ The first two rings are silent on the MFC. 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 MFC 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 MFC will not answer. Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern Very important! After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the calls yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on. 1 Press Menu, 2, 0, 4. 2 Press or to select Set.
