Samsung Lands Phones - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
I have a Samsung OfficeServ DS-5038S. An extension light keeps flashing red. When i dial the extension it gives the engaged tone but there is no one using the phone. What could it be?
If an extension light on your Samsung OfficeServ DS-5038S phone is flashing red and dialing the extension gives an engaged tone even though no one is using the phone, it's possible that the extension is stuck in a busy or engaged state. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
- Check the extension: Go to the extension in question and make sure the handset is on the hook and that there are no other phones or devices using the line.
- Restart the phone: Try restarting the phone by unplugging it from the power source for a few seconds, then plugging it back in.
- Check the programming: It's possible that there is an issue with the phone's programming. Check the phone's user manual or contact your phone system administrator to ensure that the extension is programmed correctly.
- Check the phone system: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the phone system itself for any issues that could be causing the extension to appear busy or engaged.
- Replace the phone: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a hardware issue with the phone itself. Consider replacing the phone or contacting a qualified technician for further assistance.
It's important to note that some phone systems are configured to automatically put extensions into a busy or engaged state after a certain period of time to prevent unauthorized access. If this is the case, contact your phone system administrator to adjust the settings accordingly.
