AUDIOLINE FF893 TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
All cordless telephones are radio transmitters and receivers and as such are subject to
interference from a wide range of sources.
Re-siting of the base unit can improve reception substantially.
Electronic equipment like TV’s, computers, etc., can emit strong electro magnetic
fields which can affect the radio signals. Try not to locate your FF893 next to this type
of equipment and ensure that the power and line cords are separated from other
electrical units.
THE TELEPHONE DOES NOT WORK
PIs the power adaptor connected correctly?
PIs the line cord connected correctly?
PIs the battery pack in the handset charged?
PConnect a different telephone to the same wall socket. If the other telephone does
not work, contact your Network operator.
THE BASE UNIT DOES NOT RING
PCheck that the ringer is set to ON (see page 7).
PDoes the total REN of equipment connected to your line exceed 3? If it does,
disconnect other equipment until 3 is achieved (see page 18).
P Is it connected to a mains power socket and mains power switched on?
WHEN ON A CALL, A WARNING TONE IS HEARD
P The handset battery pack may be low (recharge for 14 hours).
PThe handset may be out of range - move closer to the base unit.
NO DIAL TONE IS HEARD
P Has the handset battery pack been charged for 14 hours?
P Is the Base connected to a mains power socket and mains power switched on?
P Is the telephone line cord plugged into a telephone Network wall socket?
THE BASE UNIT RINGS BEFORE THE HANDSET
PThis is normal for all cordless telephones.
16
Page 19
OTHERS AUDIOILNE FF893
THE HANDSET WILL NOT CONNECT WITH AN INCOMING CALL WHEN
THE BASE UNIT RINGS
PBecause this is a cordless telephone, the ringing signal has to be transmitted to
the handset which can take a few seconds. It is important that a call is not
picked-up on the handset until the handset rings.
THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING
P Is the ringer set to Off? (see page 7).
MEMORY DIALLING DOES NOT WORK
P Store a new number and try again (see page 8).
CALLS ARE NOT ANSWERED
# Check that the system is switched on (see page 10).
# Check that the system is NOT set to announce only (see page 11).
WARNING
In the event of a mains power failure it will not be possible to dial the emergency
service numbers. An alternative line powered telephone should be used in this case.
It is recommended that you disconnect your telephone during a thunderstorm as you
can get a shock from your telephone (and other electrical appliances). We recommend
you follow these simple precautions during a thunderstorm:
# Do not use your telephone unless the call is urgent.
# If you must use your telephone, make the call as brief as possible and keep clear of
electrical equipment and metal fixtures.
# Do not stand in bare feet on uncovered concrete floors.
# Do not touch brick or concrete walls.
NOTE: Do not install your telephone in damp or high humidity locations, such as a
laundry or bathroom. If any damage is caused by such elements it is not covered by
the manufacturers warranty.
17
Page 20
AUDIOLINE FF893 OTHERS
REN (RN for New Zealand)
The REN (Ringer Equivalance Number) or RN is of significance only if you wish to
connect more than 1 telephone to your telephone line. Your telephone line has a
maximum REN capacity of 3 (RN of 5). Your Audioline FF893 has a REN of 1 (RN
of 1), thus it is feasible to connect 2 (4) more telephones of a value of 1 to your
system. You should not exceed a value of 3 (5) on the complete system, otherwise the
volume of the ringer in any phone will decrease and one telephone may not ring at all.
CLEANING
The case should be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.
# Do not use abrasives, solvents or spray polish that may enter through holes in the
earpiece and mouthpiece and cause damage.
# Do not place the telephone in direct sunlight or use in extreme humidity.
# The battery contacts on the base and the handset should be cleaned regularly, ie.
every 2 months with a pencil eraser and/or a dry soft cloth.
GUARANTEE
If you believe your FF893 is malfunctioning, please refer to the relevant section and/or
consult the troubleshooting guide in this manual to ensure that you have followed the
instructions carefully.
