Problems Possible Cause / Solution

6. MOH works but audio

does not stop when call
is picked up in Default
setting

7. Some Phones work,
some do not

8. Some times audio
starts to play by it self
or does not activate

9. Audio shuts off or
flickers

• Wire distance to adapter is too long, Centralize the
location of device to be as close as possible to all the
phones.

• If you are rewiring “daisy chain” wiring works better than
” star” or “home run” Independent wiring

• Press FLASH button to stop the music.

•

All your phones need to be similar model for
activation in default setting. If you mix different phone
models, you may need to use one of the ALT settings
and follow the operation in ALT settings.

•

The call needs to be on Hold min. 2 sec. before you
may pick it up.

•

When you hang up, wait 2 seconds before selecting
the same line.

•

Check for extra devices sharing that line like Message
indicator, Answering machine, Alarm system, Modem
etc. Use a “privacy module” between the line and that
extra device to keep them off the line when line is
being used by your phone.

•

Set your Alarm system and/or your DSL line to share
FAX line.

•

Excessive wiring- Total wire length per line must be
under 400 feet ( Ex: if you have 9 wall jacks -no matter
spare or a phone plugged in- each connected via a 50
foot wire to a common point then your total wire length
is 9 x 50=450 feet )

•

Use FLASH button to deactivate music.

•

Extensive audio volume. Lower the volume to proper
level.

recommend to set the volume on your audio source to mid level.

Important Note: Loud volume may flicker or shut off the on-hold audio.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The audio may activate in the middle of a call due to factors like
excessive wiring (see page 8 item 8), bad or old wiring , existing unstable lines,
sparks, too many wall jacks , other equipment sharing the lines, other extensions
picking up on same line, Noisy phone lines, bad telephones etc.

If that ever happens, press the FLASH button to stop the audio!

FLASH button is found on every telephone, it could be labeled as CALL WAIT /
FLASH or LINK

Note: Do not use a Cell phone to setup or test the device. Use Fax, etc.

Switch setting:

There is a 3 position switch in front of the unit that controls the activation method for
the SX2100EZ. you need to select the proper setting based on your type of phones:

Default: Use the Default setting when all phones are corded and are same model.
(For example all phones are ATT 952)

ALT1: The ALT1 setting utilizes “Flash then Hold” activation method, this setting
supports any phone and any mix of brands with instant activation time
after you press the Flash then Hold. You need to use ALT1 setting if:

• If there is any cordless phone involved (even when the base station is
corded)

• If you have mixed cordless type phones with corded type phones

• If you have corded type phones that are not all the same model. e.g.

ATT and GE phones are both used in your office

• If you have non compatible corded phones e.g. ATT 962 , ATT 972

ALT2: The ALT2 setting is just like ALT1, but it is more sensitive in voice
deactivation. This switch position alternatively is used in voice activation
mode (see page P5)

Please read the operation instructions for each setting carefully.

• This model (SX2100EZ) is not guaranteed to activate a

3 or 4 line capable phone via Hold button activation
even with only two lines being connected. The Proper
adapter model would be SX4400EZ.

• If answering a call allow 1 Seconds before placing the
call on Hold.

•

Make sure you have your “Local service” with the
dominant phone company in your area (not 3rd party
local service providers)

•

Is your location within city limits? are all your phone
numbers DSL qualified? your location needs to be
within 3 miles from the phone company central office to
guarantee for Hold button activation.

•

Some telephones work better in Special setting via Hold
(see page 6).
