! Audio Quality Problems
If the audio quality of your outgoing messages
is poor, try the following:
" Hold the microphone so the head is at
about chin level, approximately 3 inches
from your chin.
" Speak your message in a loud clear voice.
" The audio quality through the speaker
will never be as good as through the
phone line; so have the system call some
other phone you can listen to (make sure
the volume on the system is all the way
down).
! CODEC Initialize Error
When the system initially powers up, it must set
up the phone line and local audio circuits. During
this process, the following conditions may appear.
CODEC 2 error
If the following message appears:
CODEC Initialize
Error--> CODEC 2
Most likely the microphone is plugged into the
system. The microphone MUST be unplugged
whenever you are NOT recording, otherwise the
system will, on power failure, lock up on this
message. You can only correct this problem by
removing the microphone, unplugging power, then
reconnect power.
CODEC 1 error
If the following message appears:
CODEC Initialize
Error--> CODEC 1
Most likely some strange signal occurred on the
phone line while the system was powering up. You
can correct this problem by removing the phone line
cord, unplugging power, then reconnect power; after
the system is at Menu, you can reconnect the phone
line cord.
