How Does FaxAbility Work? 7
Your telephone number will have the
standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while
the new number will have a ring pattern of
long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is
On, you will not hear the first ring of all
incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension
phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine
recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will
stop and the fax machine will answer and
automatically receive the fax message.
Otherwise, you will hear the extension
phones and the fax machine continue to ring.
The fax machine always listens to the ring
pattern before it answers, so do not pick up
the phone during that time. You will quickly
learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes,
so you will not be tempted to answer that
number. Either you or a telephone answering
device can answer the main number(s).
Note
After you have set the FaxAbility feature to
On, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the call yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to the other
mode while the FaxAbility is set to on.

Caller ID 7
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows
the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s
phone number and name if available as the
telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your
calls. You can respond quickly to calls you
missed, because Caller IDs are received and
stored in your machine memory.
Note
To get the Caller ID Service, apply for the
Caller ID service at your local telephone
company, if available.
