LINE TESTING
Idle - Normal capacitor loop, additionally these telephones draw on-hook current (typically 10 micro Amps) to maintain stored/last number memory. This may give apparent 'Low Loop' line test conditions.

Seized - Normal press button telephone loop. The electronic keypad and transmission circuitry may give high resistance tele loop line test conditions as with other press button telephones.

INFORMATION
1. The Vanguard Message Waiting
Has a six-wire telephone cord and plug and can be used with the additional wiring to the line jack unit. The additional wiring applies a negative potential, with respect to earth, to pin 6.

This signalling is available on Plessey DX systems with option 3.6 software or later. The parameter has to be set to enable visual indication message waiting option to be used. i.e. SPMWT must be set to 2.

2. Meridian Message Waiting
The neon indicator is lit by a series of line reversals. The correct polarity of the wiring is therefore important when installing this telephone. If the wiring is reversed, the neon will remain lit at all times.

3. Drop-back (power fail) telephones
Vanguard Business Package telephones are based upon the Vanguard Basic and have an electronic recall mechanism with no earth recall. As a result, they are NOT suitable as drop-back telephones.

4. Meridian systems - clicking reports
Repeated line reversals are used to provide the flashing indication. This can reduce clicking noises on extensions corresponding to adjacent ports and ports one position away from the signalling extension. This same condition has been found to exist when the Rapport system is used. if this is found to be a problem, the advice of the Meridian maintenance people should be sought.

5. Buzz on recall
An audible buzz can be heard if the recall button is depressed. This is not a fault, it is due to the design of the recall circuitry.
