8- Problems
Fitting Extra Telephone Sockets

Page: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Print this page
Two sorts of problems may be encountered:

• When you plug the adapter into the the master socket, nothing works. This probably indicates a short circuit in the wiring.
• If you have an electrical tester, unplug the adapter and check out the terminals for short circuits.
• If you cannot find the problem, starting at the first socket or junction box after the master socket, remove the wires going into the socket and retest at the adapter - if the problem persists, the problem is in the adapter.
• The handset works when plugged into the adapter but a socket further down the circuit does not work. This probably indicates an open circuit or poorly made connection.
• Unplug the adapter and check the wiring within the appropriate socket and the last socket/junction boxes in the chain.
• Check that the colours are in the correct places and that the wires are fully in position.
• If in doubt, remake the connections.
