CHAPTER 4: MAINTENANCE

CARING FOR THE MAX IP

• 

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on your MAX IP.

• 

Unplug base unit and conferencing pod from the wall outlet before cleaning.

• 

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth moistened with water to clean the outside of your confer-
encing pod or base unit and power supply.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are having trouble with your MAX IP, it might be improperly set up or other equipment might be 
malfunctioning. To begin, check for the following (or consult the chart in Figure 4.1):

• 

The MAX IP base unit is plugged into an electrical outlet with the proper voltage and its power light is on.

• 

Make sure cables are securely connected.

• 

The equipment the other party is using is comparable in quality to your MAX IP conferencing phone and is working 
properly. While the MAX IP works with speakerphones, cell phones, handsets or installed conferencing systems, the 
quality of the conference will be impacted if the party you are conferencing with has poor quality equipment.
