BT Call Sign (U.K. only)
This fax machine feature lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine. Your fax machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second phone number (on the same phone line) just for receiving faxes. You can switch BT Call Sign off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function. This fax machine will automatically answer incoming calls that use your new fax number. When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode is set to MANUAL automatically. You cannot change the receive mode to any other mode while the BT Call Sign feature is set to on. (If you are using FAX-T106 and set TAD mode, the machine stays in TAD:MSG MGR mode.)
