The AUDIBLE CONT mode draws more power than the
TRACER TONE mode. Because of this, it is sometimes pos-
sible for the battery to test OK, and for the TRACER TONE
mode to work, but for the AUDIBLE CONT mode not to work.
This happens when the battery is weak, with enough power
to operate the TRACER TONER mode, but not enough power
to operate the AUDIBLE CONT mode. This condition is most
often seen when a carbon zinc battery is used instead of an
alkaline battery. If the FOX 2 behaves strangely in Beeper
mode, install a new battery.
Talk Power:
“Talk Power” can be used as a power source to operate tele-
phone linesman’s talksets (“buttsets”) when CO power is not
available. The VISUAL CONT / TALK mode is used to supply
talk power.
Set the switch on the FOX 2 to VISUAL CONT / TALK, and
connect the talksets as shown in Figure 1.
