How Does the Caller ID Work?6
The Caller ID Appears on the Display
When Your Telephone Rings
6
As your telephone rings, the display shows
you the caller’s phone number or name if
available. Once you answer the call, the
caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the
first 20 characters of the number and name if
available on the display. You can print a list of
the Caller ID information received by your
machine. (See How to print a report in
chapter 6 in the Advanced User’s Guide.)
Note
•If ID Unknown appears on the display, it
means that the call came from outside
your caller ID service area.
1
•If ID Withheld appears on the display, it
means the caller intentionally blocked the
transmission of his/her ID.

Distinctive Ring (For
Singapore and Hong Kong) 6
This machine feature lets you use the
Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by
some telephone companies, which allows
you to have several telephone numbers on
one phone line. Each phone number has its
own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you will know
which phone number is ringing. This is one
way you can have a separate phone number
for your machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function,
allowing you to dedicate one phone number
just for receiving faxes. You will need to set
Distinctive Ring to On.
Note
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn
it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this
function.
• The machine will answer only calls to
the Distinctive Ring number.

Very Important!
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to on, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You cannot
change the receive mode to another mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on. When
Distinctive Ring is on, the LCD will show D/R
as the Receive Mode.
