Reviewing New Calls 

If the LED is blinking, press REVIEW DOWN to scroll through all 
new call information (newest call to oldest call). The word “NEW” 
appears next to the call log number in each new call record as it is 
reviewed. The LED turns off after the last new call is reviewed. 

 

Using Callback 

The 5050T can dial a caller from the call log by using  CALL-
BACK. With the 5050T on the base (hung up), 
1. Press a review key until the caller’s number is displayed.  
2. Press CALLBACK a few times until the correct dialable form of 

the number appears. For example, “1+  number” or “LD + 1+  
number”. You’ll be prompted to lift the handset. 

3. Lift the handset and the call will be dialed automatically. 

 

Note: If only seven digits are required to dial local calls, program your 

home area code in the 5050T options table. See AREA CODE Program-

ming. To use an alternate Long Distance service you must program in the 

access code (for example 1010288) in the LD Code options table. See LD 

Code Programming. 
 

LD Code Programming 

Your 5050T can automatically insert an alternate Long Distance 
access code, for example 1010xxx, for calls outside your home 
area when using the CALLBACK feature. You should not enter 
any LD CODE if you only use 1+ for long distance.  To program 
your LD Code, 
1. Press and hold both Review keys until “Enter Language” dis-

plays. 

2. Press DELETE to step past the Language and Area Code set-

tings until you reach “LD Code” . 

3. Use either Review key to select the first digit of  your LD Code 

and press DELETE to step to the next digit position until all 
seven digits have been entered. 

4. Press DELETE to step past the remaining options and return to 

the main screen. 

 

Note: This code will only be used when you select it during the CALL-
BACK process.  The dialing option will display as LD + 1 + number.  

OPERATION 

Reviewing Old Calls 

Pressing REVIEW UP will scroll through all call records from old-
est (#1) to newest (up to #56). Pressing REVIEW DOWN will 
scroll through all call records newest to oldest. END OF LIST is 
displayed between the first and last call record in memory. 

 
Deleting Call Records 

To delete a call record, press REVIEW UP or REVIEW DOWN to 
locate the call record you wish to delete. Press DELETE twice and 
the call record will be removed and the next call in memory will be 
displayed. If no calls are in memory, the display will show NO 
CALLS followed by the Time and Date screen.  

 
Deleting All Call Records 

To delete all call records, press and hold the DELETE key for 
about five (5) seconds until “ERASE ALL CALLS” appears on the 
screen. Pressing the DELETE key again erases all calls.  
 

Line Error 

LINE ERROR is displayed if the call information is not received 
correctly due to bad transmission (static on the line) or someone 
or a machine answering before the second ring. This means that 
the call had some or all of the Caller ID information missing and it 
can not be displayed correctly. The ERROR message will go 
away after 20 seconds, or when another call is received. 
 

Note: Caller ID information is sent between the first and second ring sig-
nals. Picking up the phone before the second ring may cause the display 
to show LINE ERROR or no information at all.
