SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before returning any models to the customer, a safety check of the entire instrument should be made. The service technician must be sure that no protective device built into the instrument by the manufacturer has become defective or inadvertently degraded during servicing.

1. WARNING:

Alterations of the design or circuitry of these models should not be made.

Any design changes or additions such as, but not limited to, circuit modifications, auxiliary speaker jacks, switches, grounding, active or passive circuitry, etc. may alter the safety characteristics of these models and potentially create a hazardous situation for the user.

Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty and will further relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.

2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special characteristics. These characteristics often pass unnoticed and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts that have these special safety characteristics are identified in this manual and its supplements; electrical components having such features are identified by a any of these components, read the parts list in this manual carefully. The use of substitute replacement parts that do not have the same safety characteristics as specified in the parts list may create shock, fire or other hazards.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

1. The bell does not ring.

Check RINGER mode setting is Hi or Low.

When the PAGE SW of the base is pressed, does the ringer on the handset ring?

When the TEL SG is joined with the base to make bell signal, is there pulse wave at pin 4 of IC2?

Is there pulse wave at pin 79 of IC4?

Check IC4 and its peripheral circuit.

Set RINGER volume setting to Hi or Low.

See 2. The bell does not ring & page does not ring.

Check IC2 and TEL network circuit.

Check R82, R182 and R94.

If you want to reset the unit to the factroy settings

You can cancel the OGM, PIN, and the clock settings by the following process.

1 Disconnect the AC adaptor and telephone line cord from the base. Keep the AC adaptor connected to the wall

outlet. Make sure that the telephone line cord remains disconnected during this procedure.

While pressing the DELETE button, plug the AC power adaptor into the base. Keep pressing the DELETE

button for more than 5 seconds.

A beep sounds and “ P” blinks in the LED display.

To resume using the unit, connect the telephone line cord and place the handset on the base.

Note: If you turn on the unit again, “ P” may flash.

See 3. The base and handset cannot be connected.

When the key of the handset is pressed, can the pulse output at pin 38 of IC604 be seen?

At the Q608 collector, can the pulse wave be seen?

Check RINGER Y601.

Check DSP unit.

Check IC604.

Check R654, R656, R657, Q609, Q608 and D602.

Check IC4 and its peripheral circuit.

3. The base and handset cannot be connected.

Check whether the base is able to set in the test mode 8.

NGACheck IC4 and its

peripheral circuit.

Check base RF unit.

Check the TX POWER and the TX FREQUENCY on the base unit.

Check base RF unit.

NG Check whether there is a

250 Hz data waveform at “MOD” of RF unit.

Check RT3, R76, R91, R49, C129, C122, C33 and C52.

Check base RF unit.

NG Check whether there is a

250 Hz data waveform at RT2 AF test point.

Check IC3, Q1 and their peripheral circuit.

Check whether there is a 250 Hz data waveform at the Q2 collector.

Check RT2, Q2 and their peripheral circuit.

Check whether there is a 250 Hz data waveform at pin 64 of IC4.

Check IC4 and its peripheral circuit.

Check whether the handset is able to set in the test mode 1.

Check IC604 and its peripheral circuit.

Check the TX POWER and the TX FREQUENCY on the handset unit.

Check handset RF unit.

Check R27, R171, R172, IC1 and their peripheral circuit.

Set the base in the test mode 10, check whether deviation of the TX data is app. 9.0 kHz Dev.

Set the base in the test mode 13,

902.952467MHz (250 Hz ±8 kHz Dev.) 1mV output signal from RF test point is applied. Does the CHARGE LED light?
