F/T Ring Time 6 When somebody calls your machine, you and your caller will hear the normal telephone ring sound. The number of rings is set by the ring delay setting. If the call is a fax, then your machine will receive it; however, if it is a voice call the machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast double-ring) for the time you have set in the F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring it means that you have a voice caller on the line. Because the F/T ring is made by the machine, extension and external telephones will not ring; however, you can still answer the call on any telephone.
