When a call is made to one of your phone numbers, the 
telephone company sends a ring pattern to your 
telephone line to indicate which number the call is 
intended for. By setting up this unit for Distinctive Ring, 
you can make the unit automatically start fax reception 
when a call comes to the fax number.
To use this service, you must subscribe to the 
Distinctive Ring service offered by your local 
telephone company. Consult your local telephone 
company for availability.

8.3 Using three or more phone 
numbers on a single telephone

pattern must be assigned for each number.
Example: Using three phone numbersTo use one phone number for the fax, program the ring 
pattern assigned for the fax (feature #431 on page 55). In 
the example, the ring pattern assigned for fax is a triple 
ring, so you should program “C” (triple ring).
