How to stop false power out alarms on my Sensaphone Telephone?
To prevent false power out alarms on your Sensaphone, increase the power Recognition Time. AC power is often subject to brief interruptions, and a short Recognition Time can trigger false alarms.
Why does my Sensaphone Telephone Model 400 not answer when called?
If your Sensaphone Model 400 will not answer the telephone when called for a Status Report or alarm acknowledgment, recheck the programming of Rings Until Answer. Some telephone systems will not allow the telephone to ring beyond 4 rings. If your Model 400’s Rings Until Answer is set at more than 4 rings, you may not be able to access the unit, try setting the Rings Until Answer to less than 4 rings. If this does not correct the problem, it may indicate telephone line incompatibility. In this case, try connecting the Model 400 to a standard, residential telephone line. The cause may be incorrectly programmed Rings Until Answer or an incompatible telephone line.
What to do if my Sensaphone Telephone Model 400 does not recognize power failure?
If your Sensaphone Model 400 does not recognize power failure, verify proper battery function by unplugging the unit and ensuring it continues to operate on batteries alone.

The cause may be incorrectly installed or drained batteries, or a Recognition Time setting that is too long.
Why does my Sensaphone Telephone Model 400 fail to dial out?
If your Sensaphone Model 400 fails to dial out, first recheck the programming steps. Then, switch the current dialing method from tone to pulse, or from pulse to tone.

Finally, ensure that the Model 400 is connected to a standard (2-wire analog) telephone line, not a digital extension to a phone system. The issue could be an incorrectly programmed telephone number, an incompatible tone or pulse setting, an excessively long Recognition Time, or an incompatible telephone line.
