      If the Trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing 5 times, it indicates a GSM issue. Make sure the SIM card is activated and properly inserted into the SIM card holder. Also, check the signal strength indicators; if the signal is weak, relocate the communicator module or use an external antenna extension kit.

      If all indicators are off on your DSC Cell Phone, it could be due to several reasons: * **No Power:** Check the power connections to both the control panel and the communicator module. * **Power Save Mode (TL265GS/GS2065 only):** The control panel might be in power save mode. Verify the AC source to the control panel. * **Keypad Blanking Mode (TL265GS/ GS2065 only):** The control panel might be in keypad blanking. Press a key on a keypad to remove blanking momentarily.

    What to do if the Trouble LED is flashing 6 times on my DSC TL260GS Cell Phone?

      If the Trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone is flashing 6 times, it signifies an Ethernet issue. First, ensure your Ethernet cable is securely inserted into the Ethernet jack. Check that the link light on the HUB is ON; if not, try replacing the Ethernet cable. If DHCP is used, verify that the unit is successfully obtaining an IP address from the server by checking section [851] [992]. If a valid IP address is not present, contact the Network administrator.

      Bruce MooreAug 26, 2025
      A solid Trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone usually indicates no signal strength. Ensure the antenna is securely connected to the radio and check the cable connection to the radio. If a WIP antenna is used, ensure it is securely screwed onto the antenna cable connector.

      If the Trouble LED is flashing 7 times on your DSC Cell Phone, it means the receiver is not available. Here’s what you should check: * Ensure the Ethernet path has internet connectivity. * If using a static IP address, verify the gateway is correct. * If a firewall is present, ensure the programmed outgoing ports are open (Default UDP Port 3060 and Port 3065). * Ensure all receivers are programmed with the proper IP and port. * Ensure all receivers are programmed with a valid account number. * Ensure the System Account code has been programmed with a valid account code.

    Why are the red and yellow indicators flashing simultaneously on my DSC TL260GS Cell Phone?
    • L
      Lisa McdonaldAug 30, 2025
      If the red and yellow indicators are flashing at the same time on your DSC Cell Phone, it means the unit is in the initialization sequence. Please wait while the unit gets its programming from Connect 24 and establishes a connection to all programmed receivers. This process may take several minutes.

      Marcus BrownSep 2, 2025
      If the Trouble LED flashes twice on your DSC Cell Phone, it indicates a panel supervision trouble. Check section [382] option 5 on the control panel and ensure that it is set to ON. Also, ensure the PC-Link cable between the control panel and module is securely in place and not reversed.

      Andrew WeaverSep 4, 2025
      When the Trouble LED flashes 8 times on your DSC Cell Phone, it indicates a receiver supervision trouble. This happens when supervision is enabled, and the unit cannot communicate with the receiver. If this issue continues, contact your central station.

      If the Trouble LED on your DSC Cell Phone flashes 4 times, it indicates a lockout trouble. This means the SIM card requires a PIN number that the module does not recognize. Try using a different SIM card.

      Beth ChenSep 9, 2025
      If the Trouble LED flashes 10 times on your DSC Cell Phone, it indicates a Connect 24 configuration failure. Ensure a profile has been programmed in Connect 24 for the module. You can confirm your programming by calling the Connect 24 VRU, or by logging into the Connect 24 VRU web site.
