Ring Pattern 4 Rings very long (normal pattern) • Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short and is the most commonly used. • If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, contact your telephone company and ask for one that is shown. • The machine will answer only calls to its registered number. • The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must <> to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’).
