For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after four rings and your Brother machine is set to answer after two rings, then your Brother machine will answer first. This will prevent callers from being able to leave a message in your Voice Mail.
Page 284: Distinctive Ring
This feature is available only in the USA and Canada. Distinctive Ring 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, such as Smart Ring, Ring Master or Ident-a- Ring.
Page 285 Ring Pattern 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.
Page 286 The receive mode is set to [Manual] automatically and you cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive Ring is set to [On]. This ensures the Brother machine will answer only the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere when your main telephone number is called.

When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax.
Page 292 Home > > Telephone Services and External Devices > External TAD (Telephone Answering Device) > Connect an External TAD Connect an External TAD The external TAD must be plugged into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work correctly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
