8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Power | Power adapter not connected; Power switch off; Faulty adapter/outlet. | Ensure power adapter is securely connected and plugged into a working outlet. Turn the ON/OFF switch to 'ON'. |
| No Dial Tone | SIM card not inserted or activated; Poor GSM signal; Telephone not connected properly. | Check SIM card insertion and activation status. Ensure antenna is connected and positioned for best signal. Verify telephone cable connection to PHONE1/PHONE2 port. |
| Poor Call Quality / Cannot Hear | Weak GSM signal; Network congestion; Device compatibility issues with specific network bands. | Relocate the FWT to an area with better signal strength (check signal LEDs). Ensure your SIM card's network provider supports the device's GSM bands (850/900/1800/1900Mhz). Note that some networks (e.g., in the US) may no longer support 2G devices. |
| Cannot make/receive calls | SIM card not activated; SIM card balance low; Network issues; Device not registered on network. | Verify SIM card activation and account balance with your mobile carrier. Check signal strength. Restart the device. |
| Device restarts automatically | Normal operation of watchdog circuit; Temporary system error. | This may be the built-in watchdog circuit functioning. If restarts are frequent and disruptive, contact support. |
