  If the call station has just been turned on, wait 15 seconds until the unit has been identified by the DSP matrix mixer before attempting to use it. Wait for LEDs to turn green on the call station before talking, or deactivate the chime via the GUI. Within the GUI, check that all call station levels are set appropriately and the mute is not activated. Speak slowly and clearly towards the microphone. This may be happening because a chime has been programmed to play before any announcement, the announcement level is not at a sufficient level for the selected zone, or the user is not speaking loudly enough towards the microphone.

  Check that all cables in the cable run are using the correct CAT?5 pin configuration (no crossover cables). Check if a cable has been damaged in the daisy?chain. This issue occurs because the DSP matrix mixer is not able to configure the unit.

  Check all units are connected to power, check cabling is correctly connected, and check that the PC is connected to the network. This issue may arise because Ethernet cables have been disconnected, the unit(s) and/or router are not on, or the PC is not connected to the network.

  Check that the switches have been fully switched to the appropriate positions, and reset power to the unit. Check that the CAT?5 cable is not damaged in any way. Download and connect with the latest version of PC GUI and check the RS485 status 'Device > RS486 device status'. This happens because the RS485 ID cannot be identified.

  Be assured the unit is not faulty or broken. The unit will be affecting the audio at 3dB every time you press the button. You should listen to audio through the PA system to confirm that this is the case. This is normal, as the LEDs only indicate +/-6dB steps.
