Checking the Signal Strength

Power the FWT on and wait until some signal strength indicators turn on or until you hear a dial tone.

If no signals are received, all the signal strength indicators remain off for more than 5 minutes and you can only hear the re-dial tone.

If signals are weak, all the signal strength indicators remain off even after you have adjusted the antenna. If you can hear the dial tone coming from a certain direction, position the antenna towards that direction.

Number of Indicators That Turn On Signal Strength Level Signal Strength

0 0 Weak

1 1 OK

2 2 Strong

To ensure that the FWT can work correctly, the signal strength level must be 1 or 2.

Note:

If the signal strength level is 1 or 2, one or two signal strength indicators remain on for at least 80 percent of the time that the FWT is working.

Mounting the FWT

Horizontal Mounting Place the FWT on a smooth surface with cool air and good ventilation. Keep the FWT at least 10 centimeters away from other objects.

Vertical Mounting Hammer two nails into a wall, reserving approximately 3 millimeters between the nail heads and the wall surface. Align the FWT's wall-mounting brackets with the nails and secure the FWT to the wall.

General Functions

Starting the FWT The FWT takes about 20 seconds to start. Then you can check the signal strength.

Note:

If all the signal strength indicators remain off, the FWT may be faulty or the network may not cover the area where you are using the FWT. To solve this problem, contact your service provider.

Making or Answering a Call

1. Before picking up the handset, ensure that at least one FWT signal strength indicator is on.

2. Use either of the following methods to dial a phone number: Dial the phone number as usual.

The FWT takes several seconds to dial the phone number. Dial the phone number followed by the pound sign (#).

The FWT dials the phone number immediately. 3. To ensure that the FWT can receive calls, return the handset to its correct position when

you finish your call.

Note:

To set the interval at which the FWT dials a phone number after you dial it, enter ##58*n#. The n indicates a number ranging from 0 to 9. If n is set to 0, the FWT does not dial the phone number. If n is set to a number ranging from 1 to 9, the FWT dials the phone number in n seconds. The default interval is 7 seconds.

To enable the interval to take effect, restart the FWT. If you have set the FWT to dial a phone number at a specified interval, do not

perform any operations during that interval after you dial the number. When using supplementary services, you may need to dial phone numbers

starting with * or #. In this case, dial the phone numbers as usual and set the interval at which the FWT automatically dials a phone number after you dial it to a number ranging from 1 to 9.

8

Troubleshooting

The FWT is powered on without connecting to the power adapter, but its battery indicator and working status indicator remain off. Check whether the battery is installed.

If the battery is installed, the problem may result from low battery power. Then charge the battery.

The FWT is powered on and connected to the power adapter, but the power indicator remains off. Check that the power adapter's output voltage meets the FWT's voltage requirement.

The FWT is powered on and the power indicator is in normal state, but all the signal strength indicators are off. Check that the antenna is correctly installed.

The signal strength indicators are in normal state, but no dial tones are heard after the handset is picked up. Check the connection between the telephone and the FWT.

The in-call voice is unstable. Check how many signal strength indicators are on. If less than two indicators are on, the network signals are weak. Move the FWT to a place with stronger signals. The signal strength may be affected by environmental interference. For details, contact your service provider.

The in-call volume is too high or too low. Adjust the in-call volume. For details, see "Adjusting the In-Call Volume During a Call."

Faxes cannot be received. Set the FWT to fax mode.

Answering a call fails. Check whether the FWT is set to fax mode. If it is, switch the FWT to voice mode.

Sending a fax fails after the Send key is pressed and the tone "toot" is heard. The possible causes are as follows:

The network signals are weak. You have dialed a wrong fax number. The called party has set the fax machine to manual receiving mode, but has not started

receiving. The called party is busy.

The hands-free function cannot be used. If the FWT is connected to two telephones and one is in use, the other's hands-free function may fail. If this occurs, use the handset.

11

The modem driver cannot be installed automatically. 1. Restart your FWT. 2. Ensure that the FWT is powered on and the USB cable is correctly connected. 3.
