 YOU CAN HEAR OTHERS ON THE INTERCOM, BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR YOU 

 

If the headset is an Intercom-Only Headset with a Black PTT, be sure that the PTT button is fully depressed when 

trying to talk. 

 

If the headset is an Intercom-Only Headset with a Yellow PTT, press and release the PTT and test again. 

 

Check the headset configuration for faulty connections or components. See Troubleshooting a Headset 

Configuration (page 23). 

 

The headset is faulty. Contact Firecom for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number to return for repair. 

YOU CAN'T HEAR OTHERS ON THE INTERCOM, BUT THEY CAN HEAR YOU 

 

Check the volume level on the other headset (s). 

 

If the other headset is an Intercom-Only Headset with a Black PTT, be sure that the PTT button is fully depressed 

when trying to talk on the Intercom. 

 

If the other headset is an Intercom-Only Headset with a Yellow PTT, press and release the PTT and test again. 

 

Check the headset configuration for faulty connections or components. See Troubleshooting a Headset 

configuration (page 23). 

 

The headset is faulty. Contact Firecom for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number to return for repair. 

THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAL IN THE INTERCOM SYSTEM WHEN THE INTERCOM VOLUME IS TURNED UP 

 

Check the noisegate on the Wireless Headsets. 

 

Check for an open mic near headset speakers. Feedback problems are often fixed by turning the Intercom 

volume down, moving the mic away from headset speakers, or unplugging a headset when not in use.  

 

Unplug the headset locations one at a time from the rear of the Intercom Unit until the squeal stops.  

 

Check the headset configuration for faulty connections or components. See Troubleshooting a Headset 

configuration (page 23).  

 

Check programming for "Mic Mute Checked". 

THE RADIO RECEIVE AUDIO IS WEAK 

 

Check the setting of the radio’s volume control. The radio’s volume should be set at the normal volume for use 

with 

no

 Intercom system present.  

 

Verify proper connection to pins 6 & 7 on the Radio Interface Cable.  

 

Try swapping the Intercom Unit with a known good one (if one is available). If the problem persists, the problem 

is in the radio or the Mobile Radio Interface wiring.  

 

If no fault can be found, then the fault must lie in the Intercom Unit. Contact Firecom for a Return Materials 

Authorization (RMA) Number to return the Intercom Unit for repair.  

THE RADIO KEYS BUT HAS NO TRANSMIT AUDIO (CARRIER BUT NO AUDIO) 

 

Check the Tx gain adjustment. 

 

Check the affected headset location for faulty connections or components. See Troubleshooting a Headset 

Configuration (page 23).  

 

Verify connection of pins 1 & 2 on the Radio Interface Cable and the Radio Interface Port.  

 

Try swapping the Intercom Unit with a known good one (if one is available). If the problem persists, the problem 

is in the Mobile Radio Interface wiring.  

 

If no fault can be found, then the fault must lie in the Intercom Unit. Contact Firecom for a Return Materials 

Authorization (RMA) Number to return the Intercom Unit for repair. 

THERE IS A SQUEAL IN TRANSMIT AUDIO 

 

Check radio programming and transmit audio gain settings.
