							ABOUT THIS BOOK
Your FALCON keyset is the most visible part of your telephone system. No
matter what model keyset you are using telephone calls are handled the
same way. The 28B and 18B keysets have additional conveniences that are
not available to 8B keyset users. These are noted throughout this guide.
Please take the time to study this guide and to become familiar with the op-
eration of your keyset. Keep this guide handy. You may need to look up in-
structions for infrequently used features.
Learning to use your keyset correctly will make everyday telephone commu-
nications a breeze.

							3 Your outside calls will light green on your keyset and red on other keysets.
You never lose sight of your calls while they are on hold. They stay right
where you put them and are identified with a green flashing light.
Some simple rules to remember:
• Any steady LED indicates the line or feature is in use.
• A fast flashing green LED indicates a new call ringing in.
• A slow flashing green or red LED indicates a call is on hold.
• A slow flashing amber LED indicates a recall to your keyset.
SPEAKERPHONEAll FALCON keysets are speaker phones. Pressing ANS/RLSkey will answer
or release a call on the speakerphone. Switching from the handset to the
speakerphone is easy. Press the SPEAKERkey and hang up the handset.VOLUME CONTROLSThe FALCON keysets use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the ringer vol-
ume while the keyset is ringing, the speaker volume while the speakerphone
is in use and the handset volume while you are listening. These three levels
will be stored in memory until changed. If background music is turned on at
your keyset, the volume keys will also control the level of music. The volume
of pages heard through the speaker of a keyset can be adjusted during a
page announcement by using the volume keys. There are 16 levels for each
volume setting. The volume of off-hook ring is controlled by a user-program-
mable setting.TERMINAL STATUS INDICATORThe terminal status indicator light is positioned on the top right corner of the
keyset above the display. The terminal status indicator is a tri-colored (red,
green, and amber) light that provides greater visibility of your keysets status
than the individual key LEDs. The terminal status indicator provides the fol-
lowing indications:
• Busy/Off Hook Steady Red
• Intercom Ring Flashing Red
• Outside Call Ring Flashing Green
• Recall Ring Flashing Amber
• Message Waiting Flashing Red
• Do Not Disturb Fast Flash Red at 1 Second Intervals
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
USER ORIENTATIONFALCON telephones are called “keysets.” They contain buttons or “keys”
that are used to access or activate the many features of your office phone
system. The keys with paper designation strips are programmable keys. This
means they can be programmed for a specific function on your keyset and
that same button can be something different on another keyset. See the sys-
tem manager to get your most frequently used features assigned to your
programmable keys. When changes are made, be sure that your program-
mable keys are relabeled properly.
Lines from the telephone company are “C.O. lines.” Calls on these lines are
referred to as “outside calls.” Your system can have individual C.O. line keys
or lines may be assigned to groups. When they are in a group, you access
a line by dialing an access code or pressing a route button. For example, dial
9 or press a “LOCAL” key to get a local outside line. If Least Cost Routing is
used, pressing the “LCR” key will automatically select a preprogrammed
C.O. line according to what digits are dialed. Each line in the system is num-
bered, beginning with 701, then 702, 703, etc.
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys are programmed to ring specific sta-
tions. You can press a DSS key instead of dialing the extension number. A
DSS key  lights red when that station is busy (Busy Lamp Indication).
Falcon keysets provide distinctive ring patterns:
• Outside calls have a single ring tone repeated.
• Internal calls have a double ring tone repeated.
• Door phone calls and alarm/appointment reminders have a triple ring
tone repeated.CALL INDICATIONSThe keys on your phone have light emitting diodes (LEDs). These are tri-col-
ored LEDs that light green, red or amber (green and red together). 
Intercom calls, also called internal calls, always appear on your CALL but-
tons. They will always light green. You can have up to eight CALL buttons,
but at least two are recommended.
Outside calls appear on individual line keys if they are assigned. When an
individual line is not assigned to its own key, it will appear on a CALL button.

							KEYSET DAUGHTER MODULES[28 AND 18 BUTTON KEYSETS ONLY]
Falcon 28 and 18 button keysets can have one of three different types of
daugher module installed on them to enhance the operation of the keyset or
to provide an additional local port depending on the type of module.FALCON KDB-DIGITAL LINE 
INTERFACE (FKDBD)If your keyset is connected to a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port that supports
2B+D operation (your installing company can determine this) you may
install a daughter module that provides a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port for
connection of a digital station device such as a keyset or 64 button module.FALCON KDB-SINGLE LINE
INTERFACE (FKDBS)If your keyset is connected to a Digital Line Interface (DLI) port that supports
2B+D operation (your installing company can determine this) you may
install a daughter module that provides a Single Line Interface (SLI) port for
connection of a standard telephone device such as a cordless phone.FALCON KDB-FULL DUPLEX (FKDBF)The standard speakerphone mode of operation for a Falcon keyset is “half
duplex”. This means that you cannot transmit and receive speech at the
same time. Adding a FKDBF to your keyset will convert the speakerphone
into full duplex mode enhancing its operation. In addition the FKDBF may
have up to three (3) external microphones attached to it for conference room
type applications. These microphones require an “EXTMIC” key pro-
grammed on the keyset to activate or deactivate them.
