Frequently Asked Questions - FX-3950 Fysic

How do I register the handset to the base?

Place the handset on the base station for at least 10 seconds. The handset should automatically register. If not, press the paging button on the base and follow the manual's pairing instructions.

Can I adjust the ringer volume?

Yes, while the phone is idle, press the volume up or down buttons on the side of the handset to adjust the ringer volume. You can also set it to silent mode via the menu.

Why is there no dial tone?

First, check if the handset is registered to the base and within range. Ensure the base station is connected to the telephone line and powered on. If the issue persists, try resetting the base by disconnecting power for 10 seconds.

How do I store contacts in the phonebook?

Press the phonebook button, select 'Add New Entry', enter the name and number using the keypad, and confirm. The phonebook can store up to 100 contacts.

What type of batteries does the handset use?

The handset uses 2x AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (typically 600-800 mAh). Do not use non-rechargeable batteries as they may damage the phone.

How can I extend the range?

To improve range, place the base station as high as possible and away from obstacles like thick walls or metal objects. If you need more coverage, consider adding a DECT repeater compatible with your system.

How do I mute the microphone during a call?

During a call, press the Mute button (often marked with a microphone icon). The other party will not hear you, but you can still hear them. Press again to unmute.

Can I use the phone during a power outage?

The phone requires AC power for the base station, so it will not work during a power outage unless you have a UPS backup. The handset battery only powers the handset when it is off the base, but calls still need the base.

How do I reset the phone to factory settings?

To reset, go to the Settings menu, select 'Reset' or 'Factory Default', and confirm. Alternatively, remove the handset batteries and unplug the base for 10 seconds.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as replacement batteries, chargers, and handsets can be ordered through Fysic customer service or authorized dealers. Check the Fysic website for compatible accessories.
