Troubleshooting 

 

Troubleshooting the CommandPLUS Series Desktop Console 

The following is a list of potential problems you may encounter and possible solutions. 

Problem Possible 

Solution 

There is low or no mic 
audio. 

Check the setting of the mic and its level in the Mic Selection/Level Menu. 

The mic audio sounds 
compressed or is weak. 

Check the setting of the mic and its level in the Mic Selection/Level Menu. 

The display is difficult to 
see. 

Check the setting of the display viewing angle and brightness in the Clock 
and Display Set Menu. 

During paging no side-tone 
is heard. 

Check the side-tone level setting in the Sidetone Level Menu. 

Check the side-tone level setting in the Sidetone Level Menu. 

The display shows “Phone-
Ringing,” but the ringing is 
not heard. 

Check the speaker volume levels. 

The unselect-audio is muted 
and the 

ALL

 

MUTE

 LED 

lights when the 

TRANSMIT

 

bar is pressed. 

Check the setting for muting unselect audio during transmit in the CARD 
Software application. 

When 

ALERT

 is pressed and 

then released, nothing 
happens or the Alert is 
heard but no voice 
transmission is allowed. 

The 

ALERT

 button must be pressed and held for at least 1 second before the 

console completes the alert cycle and voice transmission is allowed. 

The alert tone is too 
low/high. 

The alert tone level may be adjusted, with the Alert Level diagnostic, from 0 
dBm to –15 dBm in 3 dB steps.  All tones are generated at a –2 dBm 
reference to high-level guard tone.  Therefore, a setting of 0 dB alert-tone 
level results in a tone 2 dB below high-level guard tone. 

On a tone channel with PL 
enabled by CARD, no PL is 
displayed on the status line. 

Since the console has no way of detecting the current PL setting of the base 
station, the PL must be set before it will be displayed.  This is necessary 
each time the console is powered up. 

The channel output transmit 
is too high or low. 

The output level adjust diagnostic should be run.  This diagnostic allows 
each channel’s output level to be set for different line loads. 

The volume cannot be 
turned up or down on the 
selected channel. 

If the volume is too loud or too soft, use the selected speaker volume control 
to adjust the level.
