5.2 Frequently Asked Questions
Problem: I should be hearing voice messages on my radio handset, but
I’m not.
Solution: Check the following:
1. Check the radio handset
a. Wait a minute and try again. Sometimes the Vosponder
can be busy and doesn’t pick up the code on the first try.
It also takes about two program execution intervals
before the datalogger fully runs the program.
b. If you have a second handset, can you talk to the other
handset? If not, you may need to change the handset’s
batteries or recharge them. If this doesn’t correct the
problem, then you may need to have the handset
repaired or replaced.
c. Make sure that the handset is set to the same frequency
and channel as the radio that is located at the remote
site.
d. Make sure the volume on the handset is not turned down
so low that you can’t hear any voice transmission.
e. Make sure the squelch on the handset is not turned up so
high that you can’t hear transmissions.
