24How DRPD responds to calls ___________________
When there is an incoming call, the FAXPHONE checks the incoming ring pattern and
determines the type of pattern being received. The FAXPHONE may require up to 10
seconds to determine the pattern type, and during this time the FAXPHONE does not
ring. After the pattern is detected, the FAXPHONE reacts according to how you regis-
tered the setting.
