you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone
cords you might already have in your home or office.

3. Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned
to your fax number.
NOTE: By default, the device is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the
Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the device might
answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.

The device automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Distinctive
Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). The device begins
emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your local service
provider or vendor for further assistance.
