Default Re: Trouble with a 706 faint dial tone.

Hi Jonboy,

I think you may have gone too deep trying to correct the problem, and your efforts may now be causing further problems. Go for the simple things first.

You first advised it need re-wiring - why, what and where exactly did you mean by this.

From memory, the straps settings were quite varied on this phone, depending on where installed and/or whether it was a master or slave. Possibly it was used in a location where the strap settings would stop it working correctly in yours.

The picture you provided was good - can anyone else here provide the same picture of a 706 that is working correctly?

When testing I suggest using the master socket, as a slave may compound an issues. Also if broadband is installed may have a bearing.
e.g. I recently had a problem with a broadband splitter where the phone socket was physically missing 2 pins, such that phones with UK ring wiring would not ring.
Also if the phone should be strapped as a master.
Good Luck - Mike
