Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No call forwarding to mobile phone.	Wi-Box not connected to Wi-Fi; App not paired; Incorrect wiring; Network compatibility issues.	Check Wi-Box power and Wi-Fi indicator light. Ensure the Fermax Wi-Box app is correctly paired with the device. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the installation guide. Confirm your home network supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and is stable. If using a VoIP system, ensure your data network is compatible.
Audio issues (no sound, screeching, distorted audio).	Incorrect audio wiring; Rheostat adjustment needed; App audio settings.	Double-check audio wiring between the Wi-Box and the VDS system. Locate the rheostat (potentiometer) on the Wi-Box circuit board (if present) and adjust it to optimize audio levels and reduce interference. Test different positions (minimum, medium, maximum). Check audio settings within the Fermax Wi-Box app.
App takes too long to connect or open.	Network latency; App background processes; Device resources.	Ensure your mobile device has a strong and stable internet connection. Close other background applications on your phone. Restart the Fermax Wi-Box app. Restart your home router and the Wi-Box device.
Difficulty with initial setup/pairing.	Incorrect QR code scan; Manual entry errors; Network firewall.	Ensure good lighting when scanning the QR code. Double-check manually entered network details (AP Name, Password, MAC, UDID). Temporarily disable any strict firewall settings on your router that might block device communication during setup.
