TROUBLE SHOOTING
RING DELAY DEVICE WILL
NOT ANSWER OR DIAL OUT
Ring Delay Switch
in its default configuration, is programmed to remove your
Ring Delay Device
from the telephone line and only connect your Ring Delay
Device to the telephone line after the appropriate Ring Delay setting, or when the
Ring Delay Device is wanting to make an out-going call.
By doing so,
Ring Delay Switch
can ENSURE that your
Ring Delay Device
will
not receive any incoming rings until after the desired Ring Delay.
However, a small number of Telephone Devices will NOT DIAL OUT or ANSWER
when connected to Ring Delay Device in this way.
If you have a device that will NOT Dial Out or Answer after installation, then you
should set
Dip Switch 1 to the ON position
.
When Dip Switch 1 is set to the ON position,
Ring Delay Switch
will leave your
Telephone device connected to your telephone line when your line is not in use. It
will then remove it from the telephone line whenever you attempt to make an
outgoing call with a Telephone Device connected to the Telephone Line Out port
(ie; a device that does not require Ring Delay) AND also each time there is an
incoming call to your telephone line.
If you require Dip Switch 1 to be set to the ON position, a very short burst of Ring
(less than 1/25th of a second) will connect to your Ring Delay device. This should
not cause your Ring Delay device to Answer the call, but as a precaution if your
Ring Delay device is an Answering Machine, Fax Machine, Modem or any other
automatic answering device, you should set your DEVICE to answer on TWO or
MORE RINGS.
Providing you do so, setting Switch 1 to ON will not interfere with your Line
Sharing requirements.
