Troubleshooting
GENERAL
This section discusses basic troubleshooting and also provides informa-
tion on where to find further help, if necessary. In nearly all cases where
you have a problem with the FT 100S, you can quickly resolve the
problem with a few simple steps. This section deals with the most
common problems that you might encounter during installation and while
operating your FT 100S.
Caution
Do not attempt to repair the FT 100S yourself. Both FCC
and IC regulations prohibit user servicing.
The first step is to identify where in the system the problem lies.
Before you begin troubleshooting, consider the following:
•
Has the problem always been there, or did it start recently?
•
If the problem started recently, what has changed since the
FT 100S last worked? Are you trying to communicate with a
different remote device, or has the remote device's configuration
changed?
•
Is the problem intermittent, or can you duplicate it at will? Does the
FT 100S work with other remote devices?
The answers to these questions may help you identify the source of the
problem. If you do not know where the problem lies, or if the problem
seems to be in the FT 100S, the following troubleshooting tips may help
you pinpoint and correct the problem. Each describes a problem
symptom, and explains the possible causes and solutions. If the problem
persists even after following the troubleshooting procedures, contact
Telenetics for assistance. See Service and Support at the end of this
guide.
