AFX-250 Automatic Fax Switch 
(430-1244)                 Troubleshooting            Faxback Doc. # 19609

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS

If your AFX-250 does not work or works poorly, check the connection to the 
telephone line.  If the reception is noisy when you make a call, hang up 
the phones 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-250 might not reset properly when power is restored.  If this 
happens, follow these steps to reset the fax switch. 

1.  Disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet. 

2.  Wait about 10 seconds, then reconnect the adapter to the AC outlet. 

NOTE:  If the AFX-250 still does not work properly, disconnect it from AC 
       power, unplug all modular connections, then follow all installation
       procedures in order (see Faxback Doc. # 19606).

If the AFX-250 does not transfer calls to your fax machine/fax modem, the
phone line voltage might be too low.  Normal phone line voltage is 48 volts
DC.  The AFX-250 operates with voltage down to about 43 volts DC.  If the
phone lines voltage is below 43 volts DC, your AFX-250 might not operate
properly. Check with your phone company if you think you have this problem.
