If a Problem Arises

If any of your telephone equipment is not
operating properly, you should immediately
remove it from your telephone line, as it
may cause harm to the telephone network.
If the telephone company notes a problem,
it may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, the telephone company will notify
you in advance of the disconnection. If
advance notice is not feasible, you will be
notified as soon as possible. When you are
notified, you will be given the opportunity to
correct the problem and informed of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Hearing Aid Compatible

Telephones

The telephone handset attached to the

Model FX505 is hearing aid compatible.

Lightning

Your unit has built-in protection circuits,

which meet or exceed FCC requirements, to

reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line currents. However, lightning
striking near or on these lines can cause an
excessive surge of voltage that can damage
the phone.

Lightning damage is uncommon. However, if

you are concerned about it or live in an

area with frequent and/or severe electrical

storms, we suggest that you unplug your

electronic equipment during the storms.

Setting Up

This section shows how to set up
your fax machine and prepare it
to send and receive.

Follow These Steps

To set up your machine and prepare it to
send and receive documents, follow these
four steps :

l Choose a proper location to install your

machine.

l Assemble your unit and plug it into

power and phone lines (see page 9).

l Enter basic information such as your ID

number and name, date and time into
unit’s memory (see page 13).

l Load fax paper in your unit (see page

12).

Choosing a Proper Location

A proper location for your fax machine helps ensure trouble-free operation. Select a

location for the unit where :

n It is away from heating or

air conditioning units.

n Its cords are not in the way of normal

activities.

n It is not in direct sunlight.

n The ventilation openings are not

blocked.

n It is at least 4 inches from other

objects.

n Also, do not place objects on the top

of the unit.

Assembling & Connecting

Installing the Handset

Plug one end of the handset cord to the

jack on the bottom of the handset. Then,

plug the other end of the cord to the
HANDSET jack on the left side of the

machine.

Connecting the Phone Line

Connect your machine in either of two
ways :

Plug one end of the line cord into the
TEL LINE jack on the machine and the
other end into a standard telephone wall
jack.

l l

If you install the unit in an electronic or
digital telephone system or PBX, it may not
operate correctly. To use the unit on such
a system, you may nave to contact your

local telephone company and have them
install a separate line that bypasses this
equipment.

l l

Many modern office buildings feature
identical wall jacks for telephone lines and
data lines for computers. If the computer
terminals in your office plug into wall jacks,
make sure that you plug your Unit into a
live telephone jack, not a data jack.

If you have a multi-line telephone, plug

one end of the line cord into the TEL

LINE jack on the machine and the other
end into a jack on the multi-line phone
system.

Assembling & Connecting continued

Connecting Extension

Telephone or Answering

Machine (if necessary)

Plug one end of the modular cord into
the EXT.TEL jack on the rear of your
machine. Plug the other end of the cord
into a modular jack on an answering
machine or a regular telephone you wish
to use as an extension.

Connecting the Power

Plug the power cord to the power
receptacle. Plug the other end of the cord
into a properly grounded, three-pin 12OV

AC power outlet.

Use an outlet not shared with equipment

that generates electrical noise or
consumes large amounts of electricity,
such as an air conditioner or office copier.

Turning the Power “On”

Press the Power switch to turn the unit

on.
When you turn the power on, [SYSTEM

INITIAL] message appears briefly in the

display window and all indicators light
briefly. After a moment, all indicators are
turned off, and the date, time, and current

mode are displayed. (If the displayed time
and date are not correct, don’t
worry-you will change this information in
a moment. See page 13). This confirms
your unit works properly.

You may leave your unit on and in

standby mode 24 hours a day, 365 days

a year.

If nothing appears in the window, make

sure that :

l

The power cord is properly connected and
plugged into the wall jack.

l The wall jack is ‘live’ and not switched off

by a wail switch or blown fuse.

Assembling & Connecting continued

Choosing Dial Mode

TONE PULSE

Set the DIAL MODE switch on the left
side of the unit for the type of service you
have (pulse or tone). This switch is set to

TONE at the factory. If you are not sure
which type of service you have, do this
simple test.

1. Lift the handset and listen for a dial
tone.

Setting Speaker Volume

The VOLUME switch on the left side of
the machine controls the loudness of the

dialing tones you hear through the
speaker when you dial with the handset
down. You can set the volume to low (all
the way to the right), medium (center), or
high (all the way to the left).

Setting Ringer Volume

The RINGER switch on the left side of the
unit lets you adjust the ringer volume to
three different settings. Try all three to
see which volume level is best for you.

If you set the switch to “OFF”, your unit
does not ring when an incoming call
comes in.

2. Press any number other than 0. If the
dial tone stops, you have a touch-tone
service. If the dial tone continues, you
have a pulse service.

3. If you have a pulse service, set the
DIAL MODE switch to PULSE.

PAPER RUNNING OUT ?

You’re running low when the edge of
the paper is pink or black.
When you’re out of paper, the LCD
window displays [NO PAPER] to let
you know.

1. Open the paper cover by pulling the
release button towards the front of the
unit. Alert tones sound and the LCD
window displays [NO PAPER] when

the cover is lifted. Remove the empty

paper roll core, if any.

Loading Fax Paper

2. Place a new paper roll in the
compartment. Be sure the paper exits
from the top of the roll as shown.

4. Close the cover by pressing down on
the center of the cover until it is
secure. Tear off the excess paper.

The window display returns to the

standby.

3. Pull the paper edge out about an inch
from the edge of the fax machine.

Hint :

For best copy quality, and to prevent
possible damage to your machine, it is
recommended to use Samsung thermal
facsimile paper.
