Distinctive Ring
Using two or more phone numbers in a single
telephone line
The Distinctive Ring service is a service offered by your local telephone company. This service provides
several telephone numbers for a single telephone line, and the ring pattern differs according to which
telephone number the call was addressed to. Originally, this service was designed for the purpose of
allowing different ring patterns to distinguish which number the call was addressed to.
This unit distinguishes the different ring patterns. If the ring pattern is one which is assigned for a fax, the
fax machine will automatically start fax reception. This service is convenient if you wish to have a
different number for fax in a single telephone line.
To use this service, you must subscribe to the Distinctive Ring service offered by your local
telephone company.
