DESCRIPTION

This User Guide describes the installation and operating instructions of our DS3 model DOOR STATION Controller, which is designed to connect to a Specially designed Door Phone (see page 4), when used on an ordinary PSTN residential telephone line. Your DS3 Controller is completely TRANSPARENT in operation, so it will not affect the normal operation of your telephone line in any way. It is Designed to RING all of your Normal Telephones when a Visitor presses the Call Button of the attached Door Phone. You need only Answer ANY Ringing Telephone to converse with your visitor.

Model DS3 has the additional capability where it cans DIAL OUT to your Cell Phone (or any other user programmed number) so that you can still Answer your Door Phone when you are away from home. DS3 can either DIAL OUT immediately, or after a User Programmed Number of Unanswered Rings. It can also be fitted to a PSTN TRUNK (used or unused) of any Multi-Line PBX telephone system. See pages 21-22 for further details. ONE or TWO Door Phones can be connected to the DS3 unit. They must be connected in parallel with each other. Either Door Phone can trigger a Door Phone call. If you use TWO Door Phones connected in parallel, then Audio will be present at both Door Phones at the same time. If you wish to operate 2 completely separate Door Phone zones, when using 2 Door Phones, you can do so by fitting an additional Model DS1 Controller (our less expensive model without Lock Control and Dial Out) on the same telephone line. In this situation, each Door Phone will then have separate audio communication and you will be able to use the Dual Lock Control of DS3 to control up to 2 separate lock zones. If you need the additional features of DS3 at Both Door Phone Zones, you should use another Model DS3 Controller with Dial Out and Call Advice Tones. Once correctly installed, DS3 will RING your all of telephones that are connected to it as soon as it is activated by a visitor pressing the Call Button of the attached Door Phone. Unlike the more basic Model DS3 and DS2 Controllers, DS3 also has the ability to select from 4 different ring outputs.

Natcomm Page 3

DS3 will work with both Corded and Cordless Phones. A small number of Older Cordless Telephones may not ring differently as they are designed to ignore the incoming ring pattern and output their own ring. For this reason, your unit can be set to output FIVE quick ‘beep’ tones (advice tones) immediately after answer, to advise you that the incoming call is from your Door Phone.

OPERATION WITHOUT A TELEPHONE LINE

DS3 will also work WITHOUT connection of a Telephone Line. In this situation, leave the Line Input port of DS3 vacant (see the diagram below).

DS3 will ring all attached telephones as normal. This will suit the many users that no longer use a fixed telephone line. The diagram below shows a wiring diagram used when a Single Lock Control relay is being used.

OPERATION When a visitor at your door or gate presses the call button on your NATCOMM Door Phone, DS3 will ring all of the telephones connected to your line up to 10 times (the number of rings can be changed). By simply answering any ringing telephone on your line, you will be immediately connected direct to your visitor, so that you can converse with them. If you are already on a telephone call, the DS3 Controller will instead inject a faint 'Beeping Tone' into the background of your call to alert you. You will then be able to place your existing call 'ON HOLD' and switch to the door or gate by simply pressing the ## key (twice) on your telephone. To resume your original call, all you need do is to press ## again. This can be done as many times as required. If you have a LOCK MECHANISM fitted, you can open a gate or door lock during this call and allow your visitor to enter, by simply pressing the * * key on your telephone. If you have the SECOND LOCK CONTROL FACILITY fitted, you can also open an ALTERNATIVE gate or door lock during this call, by simply pressing * 2 on your telephone. This command will release Gate Lock 2 until you Hang Up the telephone. Note:

Pressing *3 can also close the second internal relay and leave it closed. Pressing *4 can also open the second internal relay and leave it open.

Alternatively, the SECOND LOCK RELAY option can be used to START and STOP another Device such as a VIDEO CAMERA, DISPLAY MONITOR, RECORDER or to TURN ON and then TURN OFF a 12V LIGHT (or a 240V Light with the Power Control Unit Accessory). The Other Device will be SWITCHED ON as soon as the Call Button is pressed on the supplied Door Phone and will SWITCH OFF, 01-99 seconds after the Door Phone call has terminated, as programmed on page 27. The Second Relay can also be used to signal to a Home Automation system that a Door Phone call has been initiated.

Natcomm Page 7

DIAL OUT OPERATION If your site is unattended, DS3 can be programmed to DIAL OUT and CONNECT THE DOOR PHONE CALL to another Telephone Number or a Mobile Telephone, after a user programmable number of rings (see page 27). Alternatively, when leaving your site, DS3 can be quickly and easily switched to ‘Unattended Mode’ from any telephone on your line. In this mode DS3 will DIAL OUT immediately upon detection of a Door Phone call, rather than doing so after the preprogrammed ring count.

To set ‘Unattended Mode’ (Dials out immediately)

Pick up any telephone, press #1 and then hang up. (you will hear 1 ‘beep’ to confirm setting)

Note - This facility can be used to prevent your answering machine from answering a Door Phone call, but continue to allow it to answer incoming telephone calls. Note - some Answering Machines may not answer an incoming call from your DS3 Controller due to the DIFFERENT ring pattern that it generates. When returning to your site, DS3 can be quickly and easily switched to ‘Attended Mode’ from any telephone on your line. In this mode DS3 will only DIAL OUT if the Door Phone call is not answered after the preprogrammed ring count.

To set ‘Attended Mode’ (Only Dials out after ring count)

Pick up any telephone, press #2 and then hang up. (you will hear 2 ‘beeps’ to confirm setting)

You can also totally DISABLE the DIAL OUT facility:

To set ‘Disable Dial Out’ (will not Dial Out)

Pick up any telephone, press #3 and then hang up. (you will hear 3 ‘beeps’ to confirm setting)

Important Notes - Your DS3 is by DEFAULT set to ‘Disable Dial Out’, to ENABLE DIAL OUT, you MUST press #1 or #2 as appropriate.

INSTALLATION WHEN USED WITH MULTIPLE TELEPHONE SOCKETS

Natcomm Page 13

INSTALLATION FOR CORDLESS PHONE USERS

If you operate a Single Cordless Phone Base Station only, with 1 or more handsets, then installation is very easy. See the Diagrams on pages 9-11.

1. Unplug the Base Station Telephone Cable from the Telephone Socket.

2. Connect this cable to the LINE OUT Port of DS3.

3. Connecting the LINE IN port of DS3 to the telephone using a supplied cable. Installation by a technician is not required.

4. Arrange for a Suitable Qualified Technician to install your Door Phone in the required location, following the Instructions supplied with the Door Phone.

MULTI SOCKET USE INSTALLATION Installation is required by a Suitably Qualified Technician

Where you will operate cordless or corded telephones connected to more than 1 telephone socket, an approved installation technician will need to fit your DS3 direct onto your incoming telephone line, immediately ahead of your first telephone socket, so that your telephone line connects to all of your telephone sockets through it.

DS3 has been designed so that it will not interfere with the normal use of your telephone line in any way. In the event of a malfunction or power cut, your telephone line will continue to operate.

Your DS3 unit should be fitted inside the home or office. If it is fitted outside next to the Door Phone, then it MUST be fitted within a Water Proof enclosure.

These instructions are for suitably qualified Installation Technicians.

1) Locate the FIRST telephone socket on the line. Fit a New Telephone socket next to it, or alternatively replace the Existing Telephone socket with a Double Outlet RJ type telephone socket.

Label the Original Telephone Socket - LINE IN Label this New Telephone Socket - LINE OUT

14 Natcomm

2) Transfer all of the Remote Extension wires from the Original Telephone socket (now labelled Line In) to the corresponding positions on the New Telephone Socket (labelled Line Out). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A) Leave the original incoming Telephone Line wires connected to the ORIGINAL Telephone Socket. B) These Telephone Wires connected to the NEW Telephone socket (labelled Line Out) are the connections to all of your EXTENSION telephones. C) If a telephone is to be used at this same socket location, it should be connected to the LINE OUT port of DS3, using a standard RJ style Modular Double Telephone adaptor.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - LOSS OF TELEPHONE SERVICE

D) Should the DS3 device ever need to be removed, or if it becomes faulty, you will lose your telephone service.

To overcome this, you should remove the cable from the LINE IN port of DS3 and connect this cable direct to the new LINE OUT socket (you will need to remove the existing cable connected to the LINE OUT socket first). This will re-connect your telephone service. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Now connect the LINE INPUT port of DS3 to the LINE IN socket, using the supplied RJ to RJ telephone cable.

4) Connect the LINE OUTPUT port of DS3 to the LINE OUT telephone socket, using the other supplied RJ to RJ telephone cable.

5) Connect the supplied 12VAC (or 12VDC) power adaptor to DS3, and switch the POWER ON.

6) Connect the SUPPLIED DOOR PHONE to the DOOR PHONE PORT of DS3. See page 14 for important details.

For convenience, an interface unit with screw terminals is supplied and should be connected to the DOOR PHONE PORT using the supplied RJ to RJ cable.

Run a solid core telephone cable (preferably CAT5) between the interface unit and the Door Phone. Now refer to your Door Phone User Guide.

Natcomm Page 15

CONNECTING THE DOOR PHONE DP1 DOOR PHONE

Connect the two wires that are connected to the CENTER 2 PINS of the 8 pin RJ45 socket of DS3, to the screw terminals located on the back of the DOOR PHONE. Polarity is not important. If you plan to use the interface unit, then the terminals for the GREEN and RED wires should be connected to the screw terminals located on the back of the DOOR PHONE. Polarity is not important. The LED on the DOOR PHONE should turn ON (DS3 must be ON). The DOOR PHONE should be mounted onto your wall surface. With DP1 this is done by separating the Door Phone unit from the integral backing plate, secured by a screw underneath the grey plastic label, above the speaker. The backing plate should then be screwed to the wall surface, before re-attaching the Door Phone with the securing screw.

DP2-DP5 DOOR PHONES

Audio Connection - Connect Pins 4 & 5 (the center 2 pins) of the 8 pin RJ45 socket of DS3 to the center 2 inputs of the supplied 4 position Phoenix Plug. Polarity is not important. If you plan to use the interface unit, then the terminals for the GREEN and RED wires should be connected to the center 2 positions of the 4 position Phoenix Plug. Polarity is not important. Power Connection - Connect Pins 3 & 6 (the 2 pins either side of the center 2 pins) of the 8 pin RJ45 socket of DS3, to the outside positions of the 4 position Phoenix Plug. Polarity is not important If you plan to use the interface unit, then the terminals for the YELLOW and BLACK wires should be connected to the outside positions of the 4 position Phoenix Plug. Polarity is not important. The LED on the DOOR PHONE should now turn ON (DS3 must be ON). Your DP2-DP5 unit should be screwed direct to the wall with the 2 supplied mounting screws, or to the optional Surface Mounting Kit.

16 Natcomm

BALANCE POT ADJUSTMENT Your DOOR PHONE is preset at the factory for maximum performance.

Our sophisticated circuitry is designed to measure the background noise present at your site and then apply maximum gain. In most cases you SHOULD NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. If you are using Two Door Phones, it is possible that you will need to adjust the POT of one or both Door Phones to suit your specific site conditions. The balance POT is provided in case you experience one of the following:

Audio is distorted. Audio (speech) can only be heard in 1 direction.

Should you encounter one of these problems, you will need to make slow careful adjustments in one direction or the other until speech can be heard in both directions and without distortion. The balance POT is located on the back of DOOR PHONE under a small 3mm removable black plastic plug. It should be adjusted using a small flat blade screwdriver.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1) You will require TWO PEOPLE to adjust your Door Phone Pot. 2) Wait 10 seconds after answering before adjusting the Pot. 3) DO NOT use a telephone in close proximity to the door phone, as feedback interference will affect the Balance Pot settings. 4) The Balance POT does not increase volume. Moving it when unnecessary may cause deterioration in audio quality or a loss of audio in 1 direction.

LOCK CONTROL

Your DS3 is provided with TWO internally fitted relays which can be used to control TWO LOCKS or ONE LOCK and ONE OTHER DEVICE such as a Video Camera, Recorder or Light. Relay Specification - Dry Relay Contacts rated at 12V/1Amp. Do not use the supplied DS3 Controller 12V plug pack to also provide 12V power for the lock, as this may cause damage to DS3. You must use a separate 12V source, with a maximum rating of 12V/1A.

LOCK 1 FACILITY To OPEN the Door/Gate Lock after answering a call from your DOOR PHONE you need to press ** on your telephone. The lock will remain open for 10 seconds (Default setting). It can be set from 01-99 secs. Your Door/Gate Lock can also be OPENED at any time by picking up any telephone and dialling** . The Door/Gate Lock will remain UNLOCKED for 10 seconds (can be 01-99 secs). You do not need to receive a call from the Door Phone first.

LOCK 2 FACILITY To OPEN the ALTERNATIVE Door/Gate Lock after answering a call from your DOOR PHONE you need to press *2 on your telephone. The lock will remain open until you HANG UP your telephone. Your ALTERNATIVE Door/Gate Lock can also be OPENED at any time by picking up any telephone and dialling *2. The Door/Gate Lock will be LOCKED as soon as you hang up. You do not need to receive a call from the Door Phone first. With the LOCK 2 facility, you can also press *3 and then HANG UP at any time, which will CLOSE the Internal Relay and leave it closed. You can then press *4 and then HANG UP at any time, which will OPEN the Internal Relay and leave it open.

18 Natcomm

LOCK INSTALLATION

The contacts of each Internal relay of DS3 are accessed by the supplied connection adaptor. Both DS3 Relays are Dry Contact Relays rated at 12V/1A. The polarity of the Relay connection wires is not important. Lock 1 should connect to Brown and Orange terminals. Lock 2 or Device 2 should connect to Blue and White terminals. NOTE- Do not use the supplied DS3 Controller 12V plug pack to also provide 12V power for the lock, as this may cause damage to DS3. You must use a separate 12V source, with a maximum rating of 12V/1A. If problems are experienced, please refer to page 29 for troubleshooting tips.

Natcomm Page 19

USERS WITH ADSL

DS3 can be used with ADSL on the same telephone line. However it is ESSENTIAL to fit a SINGLE High Quality ADSL filter immediately ahead of the DS3 Controller. Failure to do so, or use of additional ADSL filters connected direct to your telephones, WILL cause problems in the operation of your DS3 Controller and ADSL service. Please Note - Basic ADSL FILTERS, designed for separate connection to each telephone on your line (as usually supplied with ADSL modems) are not suitable. If you use FIBRE, SATELLITE or CABLE for your Internet, you will NOT need an ADSL filter.

USERS WITH DIAL OUT ALARMS

DS3 can be used with a DIAL OUT SECURITY ALARM on the same telephone line. However to avoid conflict, it is ESSENTIAL to fit the DIAL OUT SECURITY ALARM on the telephone line AHEAD of the DS3 unit. If ADSL is also to be used on this same line, then it is ESSENTIAL to fit a single High Quality ADSL filter immediately ahead of the DS3 Switch, being the first point on the telephone line. This means that the Security Alarm, DS3 Line Sharer and all telephones connected on the telephone line have adequate filtering from the high frequency ADSL communication.

20 Natcomm

HANG UP AFTER DIAL OUT DS3 incorporates a HANG UP TONE DETECTOR which is designed to detect the US specification hang up tones that will be present when DS3 has made an outgoing call to a programmed Cell Phone or External Number after the completion of the call. This process is fully automatic. When installed on PBX systems, the Hang Up tone generated may be outside of the cadence and frequency normally used in the USA for Hang Up tones. In this situation, DS3 may not hang up until the Maximum Door Phone Call Time has elapsed. The Hang Up detector, looks for: 1. A Tone Frequency between 200Hz and 600Hz.

2. A Tone Duration between 300mS and 600mS.

3. A 50% Duty Cycle +/- 20%

(Ie ON and OFF periods should be the same +/- 20%)

You can adjust your PBX system to generate Hang Up tones as per the above specification, or to output normal USA Hang Up tones.

OR

You can PRESS ANY TOUCH TONE NUMBER from (0 to 9) on your telephone to cause an immediate disconnection of the call. Note: # and * cannot be used, as they are used for other functions.

AND/OR

You can set the Maximum Door Phone Call Time to a time less than 99 seconds but which is still long enough to communicate with your visitors. DS3 will terminate all Door Phone calls at this time setting.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

At some sites, Electro Magnetic Interference (often caused by older poor quality ‘switch mode’ power supplies) can interfere with DS3’s ability to reliably detect these tones. As a result, DS3 may not hang up until the Maximum Door Phone Call Time has elapsed.

Should this occur, you can overcome the problem by moving the offending ‘switch mode’ power supply away from the DS3 and its approved power supply. The distance to be moved, will depend on the level of noise generated and will need to be determined by trial and error.

Natcomm Page 21

MULTI-LINE PBX TELEPHONE SYSTEM USE Our DS3 Line Sharer can be used with a PBX system in one of 3 ways:

1) Shared on the Last Line of a PBX See Diagram 1 on page 22 DS3 can be fitted to ONE SPECIFIC INCOMING LINE of a Multi Line PBX type system. In this situation, the incoming telephone line, prior to the system controller should be connected to the LINE IN port of the DS3 Controller and the LINE OUT port of the DS3 Controller should then be connected to the system controller. Once fitted, the system will operate exactly as described previously, for operation on the selected line.

2) Connected to an ‘Unused’ Line Input of a PBX System See Diagram 2 on page 22 DS3 can also be fitted to an UNUSED TRUNK PORT or UNUSED LINE PORT of ANY Multi Line Telephone System. This means that this particular line WILL ONLY RING when the Door Phone has been activated. In this situation, the LINE OUT port is the only connection to the system controller. An incoming telephone line connection (or talk battery) is not required.

3) On an FXO Port of an IP System

DS3 can also be fitted to an FXO PORT of an IP Telephone System.

4) Use a Model DS4 or DS5 Controller on an Analog Extension, or an FXS or ATA port on an IP System. Alternative Natcomm Controllers are available that are specifically designed for use with a PBX System:

DS4 - For PBX Extension or FXS/ATA connection, no lock control. DS5 - For PBX Extension or FXS/ATA connection, single lock control. DS6 - PBX Extension or FXS/ATA connection, dual lock control, with dial out.

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS DS3 is pre-programmed with the most commonly used settings. In most cases, you will not need to change any settings, with the exception of Entering the Dial Out Number.

However, a number of settings can be changed to allow you to customize DS3 to meet individual requirements. DS3 will retain your settings even if power is disconnected. DOOR PHONE CALL ADVICE TONES 5 shorts ‘beeps’ can be injected into the Door Phone call, immediately after answer, to advise you that the incoming call has originated from your Door Phone. This facility is very useful for those users who may use cordless phones that do not ring differently when there is a Door Phone call. Allowable Range : ON or OFF Default Setting is : OFF MAXIMUM DOOR PHONE CALL TIME DS3 unit has been pre-programmed to detect USA ‘Hang Up’ tones when a ‘Dial Out’ call is complete and then terminate the ‘Dial Out’ call connection. Due to the possibility that your equipment may not generate US ‘Hang Up’ tone, a maximum allowable time ‘Dial Out’ call limit can be set. Allowable Range : 15 to 99 seconds Default Setting is : 99 seconds NUMBER OF RINGS before stopping or initiating Dial Out DS3 will ring your telephones 10 times when it is triggered by a Door Phone call. This can be changed from 1-99 rings. DS3 has the ability to DIAL OUT to an external telephone number or mobile number, if the call is unanswered after the programmed NUMBER OF RINGS. Allowable Range : 1 to 99 rings Default Setting is : 10 rings RING OUTPUT PATTERN DS3 unit outputs a Single 1 second repeating ring pattern when activated by the attached Door Phone. You can alternatively program DS3 to output Double 1 second rings, Triple 1 second rings or Four 1 second repeating rings. This feature is useful when you plan to use more than ONE DS unit on your line, as this will allow each unit to generate a different ring pattern. Allowable Range : 1 to 4 repeating rings Default Setting is : 1 repeating ring

Page 24 Natcomm

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS LOCK 1 TIME OUT The Lock 1 relay control facility should be used to open a gate or lock. You can set the time which LOCK 1 will remain open after the user presses the ** command, to between 01-99 seconds. This is the time interval that the LOCK REMAINS OPEN after pressing ** Allowable Range : 01 to 99 Default Setting is : 10 LOCK 2 TIME OUT The Lock 2 relay control facility can be used for either:

A Second Gate or Door LOCK To SWITCH ON and OFF a VIDEO DEVICE or a 12V LIGHT Or to alert a HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM of a visitor

Both DS3 Relays are Dry Contact Relays rated at 12V/1A. If you are having trouble controlling the LOCK or GATE STRIKE, please trouble shoot by using the following procedure: Test that you receive the correct voltage across the terminals of the supplied connection adaptor, when ** or *2 is pressed on the attached telephone.

Lock 1 should connect to Brown and Orange terminals.

Lock 2 device should connect to Blue and White terminals.

If the correct voltages are not present investigate all wiring to and from your lock and power source.

If the correct voltage is present, short across the two terminals and your electric lock should operate.

If your lock still does not operate, there will be a problem with wiring between your power supply, electric lock and connection box.

If your lock operates, then the problem is located in the wires of the connection box, the RJ to RJ lead connecting to the DS3 unit or the relay within the DS3 unit itself. If possible, please bypass the connection box and the RJ to RJ lead connecting to the DS3 unit by feeding the two power supply wires of the electric lock into an RJ45 plug in positions 2 & 7 (Lock 1) and 1 & 8 (Lock 2).

If the lock then works with ** or *2, then the problem is in the connection box or the RJ to RJ lead connecting to the DS3 unit.

If the lock still does not work with **, then the problem may be within the DS3 unit, or interference is preventing DS3 from detecting the ** command.

ADSL Interference or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) caused by Switch Mode Power Supplies or Uninterruptable Power Supplies can prevent the ** touch tones from being detected by DS3. Follow the instructions on page 20.

If your problem is still unresolved, please call Natcomm on ph 800 530 8645 to report the above results and arrange for further advise or repair.

IMPORTANT NOTE - You must not use the Power Adaptor supplied with DS3 to power either Door Lock or Strike.

TROUBLESHOOTING AUDIO

If you are having trouble with AUDIO COMMUNICATION between the DOOR PHONE and ANY TELEPHONES on your line, please follow the procedure below. Most problems are caused by site specific conditions. Through a process of elimination, the source of problems can be determined and then rectified. If you use ADSL on your telephone line, ensure that you have a High Quality ADSL2+ filter fitted to your telephone line ahead of the DS3 Controller. If you have recently updated your ADSL service, your old filter is unlikely to be compatible with your new service, as ADSL2+ requires different filtering to the ADSL2 service or the original ADSL1 service. If you are using FIBRE, SATELLITE or CABLE for your Internet, you will NOT need an ADSL filter. Your BALANCE POT, located on the back of the Door Phone may need adjusting as described on page 16. If you are still having audio quality problems, they can be caused by EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) from some Switch Mode Power Supplies and some low end UPS units (Uninterruptable Power Supplies). Switch Mode Power Supplies can be easily identified because they are very light, due to the fact that they do not use a transformer. Many brands of these power supplies are well known to generate high levels of EMI. Please TURN OFF any SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLIES located near the DS3 controller (and its power supply) and test if the problem is resolved. If the DS3 Power Supply is connected to an Uninterruptable Power Supply, remove it and test if the problem is resolved. If you are still having audio quality problems, then you may be picking up interference (60 Hz power or other interference) from the telephone line input, or the cable leading to your Door Phone.

To test for this, you need to temporarily isolate our equipment from the existing devices/cable, using the following procedure: Disconnect the telephone cable from the LINE OUT port of your unit and connect a single corded telephone into this port. Now test communication with this single phone. If satisfactory operation can be achieved, you should fault find your problem with the wiring or telephones downstream of our unit by connecting them to our unit 1 device at a time. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, you should disconnect the telephone cable from the DOOR PHONE port of your DS3 unit and temporarily run NEW CAT5 cable from the DS3 to your DOOR PHONE. Alternatively, you can remove the Door Phone from its normal position and move it closer to the DS3 unit so that you can connect it using a temporary new CAT5 cable. Please ensure this temporary test cable is no less than 20 feet away from your DS3 unit in order to prevent Audio Feedback. If satisfactory operation can be achieved, you should fault find your problem in the wiring leading to the DOOR PHONE unit. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, you should disconnect the telephone line input to the LINE IN port of your DS3 unit. (Note: with the telephone line disconnected, audio communication can be achieved, but DTMF operation will not work). If satisfactory operation can be achieved, you should fault find your problem caused by the incoming telephone line. If you are using ADSL, ensure that you are using a single high quality ADSL filter. These devices are available from your Dealer. If your problem is still unresolved, please call National Communications on ph 800 530 8645 to report the above results and arrange for further advise or repair.
