Maintenance of the Intercom The intercom SIM card will need topped up occasionally if it is a pre-pay casual SIM card. It is recommended that you register this SIM card on the provider’s web site. You can register card payment details. Many networks offer an auto top up feature, which means they will automatically top up your intercom when the balance runs low.
-Change SIM card if necessary to another network which may have better coverage. -Purchase a high gain antenna. -Increase height of antenna. This may also be caused by a defective microphone, water on a microphone from a sprinkler for example, or dirt blocking the microphone hole. If reception is optimum and the problem persists, contact your supplier or installer.
