Zoom X5V - Manual (Page 17)

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 17
Making a conventional phone call: Pick up the telephone and
dial as you normally would. As long as you don’t dial # to indicate
that you are dialing a VoIP call, your calls will be routed and billed
as if you didn’t have VoIP, through your regular telephone service.
Note: In the event of a power failure, the X5v routes all calls as
conventional calls.
Distinctive Ring and Dial Tone: The X5v’s ring and dial tone
sound different from your normal phone. This means that you can
easily tell by the ring that you are receiving a VoIP call. Perhaps
more important, when you dial # to make a VoIP call, you will
hear a different dial tone than you hear on the public phone
network, so that you can be sure you are making a VoIP call.
Speed dialing: You may program your phone to speed-dial VoIP
numbers. Just be sure to remember to start the VoIP numbers with
#
Redial: You may redial a VoIP number just as you would redial
any other number, using a redial feature on your handset.
Hook Flash: If you receive a second call while already engaged in
a VoIP call, you will hear a call waiting tone. Momentarily press the
hook button on your phone to talk to the second caller, and press
it again to go back to your first conversation. After you have
completed a VoIP call, you can press the hook button to get a
fresh VoIP dial tone and make another VoIP call without dialing #
Note that redial or speed dialing will not work in this case,
however. You must hang up for at least one second if you need to
make a conventional phone call.
VoIP-only Mode: If you want to make only VoIP calls from the
phone plugged into the X5v, you must switch the X5v to VoIP-
only mode. On the X5v’s VoIP page, check the VoIP Only box.
All calls you dial from the phone attached to the X5v will be VoIP
calls, so you do not need to dial # first.
