Troubleshooting
Possible solutions
1 Remove all but one radio module
from the carrier. (See "Removing
Radio Module from Carrier" in
Chapter 4.)
Test each radio module

individually, verifying that the
POWER and PASS LEDs on
each radio module light when the

OUT OF SYNC LED is not lit.
If the PASS LED does not light,

the radio module is
malfunctioning. Replace the
radio module and handset.
Look for 110/Volt lines, fuse boxes,
circuit breakers, electrical junction
boxes, or similar items. Move the
carrier or radio module at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) away from the potential
interference.
Move the carrier or radio module at
least 3 feet (1.2 m) away from the
potential interference.
Move the metal object, or move the
carrier or radio module.
Fully extend the handset antenna.
Reinstall the radio module or carrier
away from electrical equipment and
as high as possible on the wall [but
with the top of the radio module
antennas 6 to 12 inches (15.2 to 30.5
cm) from the ceiling]. (See "General
Positioning Rules" in Chapter 2 for
more information.)
