The message "DR Mode in Use" is displayed on my Brother machine. What is this message and how do I clear it?

The message "DR Mode in Use" indicates that your Brother machine's Distinctive Ring feature is currently on. When Distinctive Ring is on, your Brother machine is automatically put in Manual Mode. You cannot change your Brother machine's Receive Mode until you turn Distinctive Ring off.
