Possible solution: The iSocket could have lost contact with cellular network or there is no electricity in the
home network. If you're away from the device and cannot verify the existence of electricity or cellular signal
in the home network you can carry out a simple test. Try to call to the device's number. If this works, you
will hear a ringing tone instead of a "subscriber not available" signal (only if RING=NOACTION). If you are
sure that the device is online, you need to look for other possible problems. One possibility is that the phone
number from which you send a message is unauthorised and therefore you will not receive any messages
and no action will be carried out (Chapter 5.1). A mistake in writing the command could have occurred and
error suppression could have been set (ERROR=OFF). In this case you would not know if you had made a
mistake in the command. Check your outgoing messages to see what command was sent and check that it
was written correctly, according to the manual. Read about other potential problems below.
Possible malfunction: The OUT indicator reports an error (blinking 4 times per second)
Possible solution: If the OUT indicator blinks 4 times per second, even only occasionally (e.g. at the start
of the device), it is likely that there is some problem with the SIM card. Check that the SIM card in the
device doesn't contain any data (such as stored phone numbers and messages). If the SIM card has data
on it then clean it using your cell-phone. Also try using another SIM card. If the OUT indicator is blinking
constantly and the blue ONLINE indicator is always off, there is probably a problem with the power of the
module. Contact the service department or technical support.
Possible malfunction: The phone from which device was controlled has been lost, but the number was
recorded in the list of allowed numbers. So you cannot control the device any longer.
Possible solution: The device must be reset to the factory defaults and set again with another phone.
(Chapter 13).
Possible malfunction: The device is behaving strangely – e.g. no response to commands.
Possible solution: Try to reset to factory default and configure the device again (Chapter 13). You can
also check that the SIM card in the device doesn't contain any data (such as stored phone numbers and
messages). If the SIM card has data on it then clean it using your cell-phone.
Possible malfunction: The device doesn't send power failure / power restore alerts.
Possible solution: Make sure that the number for alerts is installed properly (see Chapter 5.3). Lithium-
ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. When the capacity falls below a critical value you will
not be able to receive the power failure alerts. If this happens during the warranty period you have the right
to get a replacement battery for your product. If you use the device outside the specified temperature range
this can also be the reason for not receiving power failure alerts.
