| Identify the active handset | Lifting the privacy handset transfers audio to it. To return to speakerphone, press the speakerphone button before replacing the handset in its cup. Replacing it first can end the call. |
| Read Mute correctly | During the connected call, red Mute means muted; switch it off to restore the microphone. Flashing yellow identifies RJ11/POTS use and is a different state. |
| Separate audio from reception | If mute and handset routing are correct, record signal strength and whether the call drops. Pass persistent faults to the service provider with OC800 and the active audio interface; do not reset configuration or disturb installed antenna wiring. |
Work through these checks
Identify the active handset
Lifting the privacy handset transfers audio to it. To return to speakerphone, press the speakerphone button before replacing the handset in its cup. Replacing it first can end the call.
What the result means: Confirm the intended audio path.
Read Mute correctly
During the connected call, red Mute means muted; switch it off to restore the microphone. Flashing yellow identifies RJ11/POTS use and is a different state.
What the result means: Compare with the other party.
Separate audio from reception
If mute and handset routing are correct, record signal strength and whether the call drops. Pass persistent faults to the service provider with OC800 and the active audio interface; do not reset configuration or disturb installed antenna wiring.
What the result means: Keep the two symptoms distinct.
When to stop and get help
Stop for RF-short alarms, water damage or urgent communication needs; use qualified service and another working connection.
What to tell support
OC800 label, audio path, Mute color, signal and call-drop behavior.
