Brother MFC-5100C - Very Important; Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern

5 - 9 SETUP RECEIVE
BHL-FB-MFC-5100C-FM5.5
Very Important
If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to
keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the
MFC in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature.
Here’s why: MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is
«Neutral». When the MFC is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring
Feature can be activated. The Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering
mode. So, do not activate FAX ONLY mode while using Distinctive Ring;
otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.
Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern
1 Set the MFC to MANUAL mode.
2 Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 1.
3 Press to select DISTINCTIVE:SET?, and then press Menu/Set.
4 Press to select the prestored ring pattern you want to assign, and then press
Menu/Set. (You will hear each pattern as you scoll through the four patterns.)
Be sure to choose the pattern assigned by the telephone company.
5 Press Stop/Exit.
