KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL 2.3.3.3. Communication Section Find the problem in the table shown below, and refer to the corresponding troubleshooting procedure in 2.3.3.3.1. Defective facsimile section. Symptom Content Possible cause The paper is not fed properly when faxing. Troubleshooting Problem with the feeding (Nor in the copy mode.)
Page 48
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL 2. Sometimes "TRANSMIT ERROR" occurs. Note: "596: Transmit level set" represents a service code. (Refer to 2.4.4. Service Function Table.)
Page 49
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL 3. Reception problem First confirm whether the recording paper is installed properly or not before starting troubleshooting. (Refer to "Remarks".) Note: "596: Transmit level set" represents a service code. (Refer to 2.4.4. Service Function Table.) Remarks: Regarding the reception problem, we have investigated the conceivable causes in the flow chart except for the software- related errors.
Page 50
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL 4. The unit can copy, but cannot transmit/receive. 5. The unit can copy, but cannot either transmit/receive long distance or international communications. The following two causes are conceivable regarding this symptom. Cause 1: The other party is executing automatic dialing, the call has been received by this unit, and the CED or DIS signal response time is too long.
Page 51
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL Cause 2: Erroneous detection because of an echo or an echo canceler. The sea bottom cable or satellite communication path (4 Line Type) (Echo/Echo Canceler) The signal from FAX1 reaches FAX2 via stations 1 and 2, but the reflection signal at station 2 also returns via station 1 (echo).
Page 52
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL (Cause C) This model is FAX1 and the other party is FAX2. For transmission from this model to FAX2, FAX2 executes automatic reception and transmits a CED signal (2100 Hz) followed by a DIS signal. As the echo cancelers stops as described in cause B, the echo of the DIS signal returns to FAX2. On the other hand, this model detects the DIS signal and transmits a DCS signal.

KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL 2.3.3.4. Digital Board Section When the unit fails to boot up the system, take the troubleshooting procedures very carefully. It may have a serious problem. The symptom: No response when the power is turned on. (No LCD display, and keys are not accepted.) The first step is to check the power source.
Page 68
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL You also need to check the signal lines listed here [List 1] when the unit fails to boot up the system. Those signal lines should remain normal. Other signal lines are not directly related to that failure even if they have faults or troubles.
Page 69
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL Normal Wave Patterns Remarks: When you use an oscilloscope to judge whether a signal to be tested is normal or NG, perform the signal check in exactly the same order as in [List 1]. (If the ASIC fails to access the ROM, the ASIC cannot access SRAM or DRAM normally.) The digital circuit actually operates according to the timing combinations of these signals.

KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL I/O and Pin No. Diagram...
Page 71
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL After the power is turned on, the ASIC initializes and checks each IC. The ROM, SRAM, and modem are checked. If initialization fails for the ICs , the system will not boot up. In this case, please find the cause as follows.
Page 73
KX-FP121AL / KX-FM131AL FLASH MEMORY (IC510) If the unit is working correctly but the VOICE GUIDANCE (voice prompt) is not audible, you should check the Flash Memory. A voice message is pre-recorded in the Flash Memory (IC510). So, when you find an IC510 malfunction and replace it with a new one.
