Distinctive Ring Compatibility

When you add a second or third phone number to your single line, the CS8500-t works smoothly to
process calls without access codes or transfer tones.

The phone company's Distinctive Ring is offered in most areas across the U.S. Phone companies offer this
service under various names. Check with your local phone company for details.

NOTE:

 When using Distinctive Ring for the TTY/TDD device, set the TTY/TDD mode to 0 (see

Receiving a TTY/TDD Call)

The CS8500-t will process the additional phone numbers (ring styles) as follows:

standard ring - - - - PHONE and ANS. MACHINE ports
two-burst ring - - - - FAX port
three-burst ring - - - - TTY/TDD port

The factory setting for Distinctive Ring detection is OFF
