When I'm on a call, the
handset starts making a
strange tone.
Turning off the verification tone (see below)
Turning on the verification tone
The verification tone is a useful tool for troubleshooting installation problems. If
you activate the verification tone, a handset sounds a continuous tone whenever
it moves into the extended coverage area of the repeater. The tone sounds as
long as the handset is connected to the repeater. This lets you use the
verification tone to map the coverage area of each repeater.
Step 1: Disconnect the power.
Step 2: Reconnect the power for 1 to 5 seconds, and disconnect it again.
Step 3: Reconnect the power and wait for the LED on front of the repeater to
start a slow flash.
Step 4: Disconnect the power, and immediately reconnect it. The verification
tone is then activated.
To turn the verification tone off again, repeat the procedure.
