SIM MAINTENANCE
If using a pre-pay casual SIM card it will need topped up occasionally. It is recommended to
advise the home owner / end user to register the SIM card on the provider’s web site if
available. Most major networks allow registration of card payment details for an auto top up
feature, which means they will automatically top up your intercom when the balance runs
low or in some cases, they offer a low balance reminder to be sent if they do not wish the
auto top up feature.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

WARRANTY
5
Please note, by installing this product, you are accepting the following warranty terms:
1. The manufacturer’s warranty is a “return to base” 2 year warranty from date of manufacture. This means that any suspected defective
components or items are returned to the manufacturer’s agent for investigation and diagnosis and returned at the cost of the customer.
2. The warranty does not cover, nor is the manufacturer or agent responsible for any of the following whatsoever: Storm damage,
lightning or surge damage, flooding, accidental damage, vandalism or deliberate damage, un-explained corrosion or unusually harsh
environments, failure of telephone networks, future un-interoperability between the product and network providers which cause mal-
function due to changes implemented by the phone providers after manufacture of the product, or that which is outside of control of
the manufacturer (e.g. 2G, 3G switch off, removal or inability to obtain VOLTE service), and damage due to inaccurate installation.
3. The manufacturer in no way accepts liability for any of the following incurred due to a product defect: Cost of attending site,
inconveniences, labor rates, time lost, loss to or damage to property, security breaches, late payment clauses or breaches of any
contracts between the installer and the client.
4. This is a professional install product only. The product is a component of an overall system. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the
installer to certify the safety and compliance of the overall finished system. As soon as this product is fixed to another item, or
connected to another third-party device, then the product has been modified, and compliance with local regulations in the country of
install is strictly the responsibilityof the installer.
5. Re-stocking fees may apply to items returned that are found to be non-defective. Complete units will also attract a re-stocking fee if
returned for credit, regardless if a defect is discovered or not. Re-stocking fees may vary depending on the condition of the item being
returned, and whether it can be determined as in brand new condition. The warranty terms do not entitle customers to an automatic full
refund. For more details on returns procedures and re-stocking fees, contact the agent.
6. Items with physical signs of surge damage are not covered by warranty. Items with visible signs of surge damage will only be covered
by warranty if photographic evidence is provided from site, showing surge protection has been installed.
Full warranty terms and conditions available upon request to AES Technical Department.
SWITCH MAINTENANCE
Bug ingress is a common issue in unit failures. Ensure that all components are sealed
accordingly and check occasionally. (Do not open the panel in the rain / snow unless correctly
equipped to keep the internals dry. Ensure the unit is securely closed after maintenance)
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its
production. It may contain hazardous substances for the environment. In order to avoid the
dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or
recycle most of the materials of your end-of-life equipment.
The crossed-bin symbol marked in your device invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or
regional waste administration. You can also contact AES Global Ltd for more information on the
environmental performances of our products.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms caused
Problem/error
Solution
No LEDs on.
The unit will not power up.
Check power supply voltage at intercom is 23.4v DC or more. Cable
length from PSU to intercom should be less than 8 meters and in
1.0mm2 cable for this distance. See cable guide on page 1 of this
manual. Check the fuse.
No green CPU light
The unit powers up but is not
showing network reception
or will not respond to SMS.
This means the unit is not able to detect the network for some
reason.
-Power off the unit, remove the SIM and check it in a mobile phone
to verify it can make a call and has calling credit if it is a Pay As You
Go SIM.
-
Disable any PIN code request if active on the SIM card.
-
Check the SIM is a standard voice capable SIM. If you are unsure,
contact your SIM card provider to verify.
-
Check the reception is medium or good. Poor reception is not
sufficient.
-Power off, remove the SIM, use fine sand paper to lightly sand the
SIM pads and contacts on the GSM unit, lightly bend the contacts
upwards so that they make better contact with the SIM and try
again.
-
Change to an external antenna.
External Antenna Details
-
Ensure the cable does not have too many sharp bends.
-
Check the height of the antenna and make sure it is not inside a
metal enclosure.
-Check correct power cable size for cable length from PSU. Refer to
manual for guidelines
The caller ID function
does not work.
Incorrect programming or
poor signal
If your number is a private or number withheld, then it will not
work.
-
Ensure the number is programmed as you would normally dial it
from another phone.
- Ensure you have adequate GSM signal at the intercom by sending
*20# as a text.
