Operating Your Telephone
Overview
This section provides step-by-step instructions for operating your
FX5000 Digital
telephone,
including how to turn your phone on and off, place calls, receive calls, and end calls. Also
described are memory dialing, volume adjustments, and last number redial.
Whenever using your phone, keep the following in mind:
• Like a normal landline telephone, you will hear a dial tone when lifting your handset.
• To place a call, pick up the handset, enter the phone number and the call will be placed
a few seconds after the last key is pressed.
• When finished with a call, you must either hang up the handset in the base, or use your
finger to depress the hang-up button in the handset.
• Before using your phone, the AC transformer must be plugged in and the LED on the base
must be GREEN. The base must also be placed in an area where the signal will be strong.
• If you lose AC electrical power, your
FX5000 Digital
phone will not operate. However,
any phone numbers and other information you have stored in memory will be preserved.

Operating Your Telephone
Basic Operation
Turning Your Phone On and Off
Your
FX5000 Digital
telephone is on whenever the transformer is plugged into a powered AC
electrical outlet and the DC power cord is plugged into the base. You can tell if your telephone
is on (and operational) if the LED on the base is GREEN. (It may take a few seconds after first
applying power for the LED to turn GREEN.)
How to Place a Call
1. With power on, lift the handset and enter the number you wish to call by
pressing the keypad buttons. As you press each button, make sure you hear a tone
in the handset earpiece to confirm your entry.
2. The call will be placed a few seconds after the last key is pressed.
3. Begin the conversation when the called party answers.
