Code 4. If the number of rings before answering is set to 0, the B1290 will
never answer the phone.

these activities: speaking on the radio, in local programming mode and
when it is using the phone line to call out. Counting of rings only begins
once the unit is in its idle state.

Hz. The RING LED located on the front panel will indicate if proper ring
-
ing voltage is being received.

onds on, four seconds off. If the ringing cadence is greatly different, it may
not be detected.
