IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS

If your AFX-300 does not work or works poorly, check the con- nection to the telephone line. If the reception is noisy when you make a call, hang up the phone’s handset. Then pick up the handset and redial the number.

If a power failure occurs while your fax machine/fax modem is operating, the AFX-300 might not operate properly when pow- er is restored. If this happens, follow these steps to reset the AFX-300.

1.Unplug the adapter’s barrel plug from the AFX-300’sDC 12V jack.

2.Wait about 10 seconds, then reconnect the adapter’s barrel plug to the AFX-300’s DC 12V jack.

Note: If the AFX-300 still does not work properly, disconnect it from AC power, unplug all modular connections, remove the backup batteries, then follow all installation procedures in or- der (see “Installation” on Page 7).

If the AFX-300 does not transfer calls to your fax machine/fax modem or data modem, the phone line voltage might be too low. Normal phone line voltage is 48 volts DC. The AFX-300 operates with voltage down to about 43 volts DC. If the phone line’s voltage is below 43 volts DC, your AFX-300 might not operate properly. Check with your phone company if you think you have this problem.
