VII.

 

Basic Trouble-Shooting 

 
Note:  Please  also  read  the  Trouble-Shooting  Guide  in  the  Emergency  Phone 
Manual.  
 
Problem 

Possible Causes 

My 

unit 

does 

not 

function  at  all.    I 
cannot  call  it  or  call 
out with it. 

1.    The  power  supply  is  not  properly  connected  (check 
the power LED). 
2.  The phone wires are not properly connected. 
3.  Your unit has been struck by lightning or another very 
high  voltage  source.    Contact  Talk-A-Phone's  Service 
Department. 
4.  There  isn’t  enough  power  on  the  line  (see  Technical 
Requirements, page 3). 
5.    You  may  have  accidentally  plugged  a  PBX  line  or 
phone  company  line  into  the  Local  port.    If  so,  contact 
Talk-A-Phone technical support. 

I  hear  noise  on  the 

line. 

1.  You are not using twisted, shielded wire.  Fluorescent 
lights,  elevator  machinery  and  many  other  devices  can 
produce  noise  on  your  wires  if  they  are  not  properly 
twisted  and  shielded.    (See  FAQ  #2  for  wiring 
requirements.) 

The 

Local 

Phone 

rings  briefly  but  then 
when  I  pick  up  I  hear 
three beeps. 

1.  The  Emergency/Information  phone  that  called  in  was 
not programmed with a phone number (see FAQ #3, page 
9) 

When 

call 

an 

Emergency 

Phone 

through  the  EC-8,  I 
cannot  communicate 
with  the  person  at  the 
other end. 

1.    The  Emergency  Phone  was  not  programmed  to 
automatically  go  "live"  after  being  called.    It  is  in 
programming mode.  You can activate it for a single call 
or  for  all  future  calls  by  entering  your  guard  code  (*4**) 
followed by either *5* for a single call or *78* for all future 
calls.    (See  Emergency  Phone  Manual,  page  9  for  more 
information.) 

The  consolidator  will 
not  accept  my  Access 
Code 

1.  You are using a touch-tone phone on a PBX that is not 
giving the consolidator the appropriate tones. 
2.    Someone  has  changed  the  Access  Code.    You  can 
reset  all  codes  to  factory  default  by  entering 
*30*14725836* (see FAQ #4, page 9).
