TROUBLESHOOTING
No Dial Tone/Phone Will Not Operate
1. Check all phone cords and connections. Make sure they are plugged in
securely.
2. Plug unit into a different phone jack to help determine if the dif culty is
with the phone or the phone jack.
3. Switch out handset or telephone line cords.
4. Disconnect any other equipment that may be attached to the phone.
Unable To Dial Out
1. Make sure TONE/PULSE switch is set correctly.
2. Phone may be at the end of a long line of phones (loop). Phone may not
be getting enough power from the phone line. It may be necessary to wait
for a few seconds after lifting the handset to begin dialing.
3. The XL40D is not compatible with Digital PBX Systems. If a standard,
single line phone works on the system, your XL40D should also.
4. There is an advanced computer running inside the XL40D. Sometimes
after the handset is picked up, it will take a little less than a second to
engage the phone. Since it is not immediate, if you dial a number before
the computer engages, it will not receive the entire phone number that is
dialed.
The Person On The Other End Cannot Hear You
1. Too many phones or phone devices on the line may effect your phone’s
transmission. As a guideline, more than ve (5) phones or phone devices
may overload the phone line. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) devices to see
if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company
for load guidelines.
2. You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak
directly into the mouth piece in your normal tone of voice.
Unable To Hear Phone Ringer
1. Too many phone or phone devices on a line may cause your phone to
not ring. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) of the devices to see if the
problem is eliminated. If not, contact your local phone company for load
guide lines.
2. If power is not being supplied to the phone, the extra loud ringer, will
not work.
3. Check the Ringer ON/OFF switch to see if the ringer is off.
Volume Control Does Not Work
1. BOOST must be activated
to turn on the additional ampl cation.
2. Check power connections. BOOST will not work without power or
backup batteries.
Unable to Access Automated Systems
Automated systems used by banks, long distance voice mail and other
applications require that a phone be set to “TONE” dialing. Check the switch
on the bottom of the phone labeled TONE/PULSE and set to TONE. This
will enable the phone to be compatible with these automated systems.
If the power goes out , or the AC Adapter is not properly connected to
the phone, the ampli
cation, extra loud ringer, and the lighted keypad will
not work. If you have backup batteries installed, ampli cation will still work,
but the phone will drain the backup batteries very quickly. This will cause the
need for the batteries to be changed frequently and the Low Battery indicator
light to constantly illuminate.
Do I Need to Install Batteries? Batteries are optional. They provide
backup in case of a power outage. They are recommended in areas of
frequent power outages. This phone uses four (4) alkaline batteries. When
installed and fully charged, the batteries maintain the high ampli cation for
your telephone.
