Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one telephone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.
Do you have Voice Mail? 7
If you have Voice Mail on the telephone line
that you will install your new machine on,
there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail
and the machine will conflict with each other
while receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separate telephone number, neither will
interfere with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions below to
‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your machine can
recognize its incoming calls.

Distinctive Ring
1
is a function of your Brother
machine that allows a person with one line to
receive fax and voice calls through two
different phone numbers on that one line.
Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring”, but
telephone companies market the service
under a variety of names. This service
establishes a second telephone number on
the same line as your existing telephone
number, and each number has its own ring
pattern. Typically, the original number rings
with the standard ring pattern and is used for
receiving voice calls, and the second number
rings with a different ring pattern and is used
for receiving faxes. Only one call can be
answered (or made) at any one time and
while this call is in progress, incoming calls to
either number will be presented with a busy
tone.

Contact your Telephone Service Provider to
determine availability and any other related details.
After you have set the Distinctive Ring
feature to On, the receive mode is set to
Manual automatically. Your Distinctive
Ring Number does not allow Voice calls -
only Faxes. You can not change the
receive mode from Manual mode while
the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
