Special Operating Notes

Before operating the CS8500-t, be sure that you understand the following information concerning the
telephone equipment that is used with the CS8500-t.
FAX CNG Tone: Most faxes send an audible beep tone called CNG (CalliNG) tone. This tone is a
distinct beep that repeats every three (3) seconds.
Once a fax has dialed the destination fax number, it generates this tone while waiting for the receiving fax
to answer.
Not all faxes transmit this tone when they place a call. Most, but not all faxes produce this tone through
their auto-dial feature, speed-dial memory position, or by the operator pressing the fax machine's start
button after the number is dialed.
For best results, callers should have your fax number programmed into their fax machine's "speed-dial"
memory.
