If the UPAM activates and you can make a page,
the UPAM and paging system are functioning
correctly. The problem must be with the voice
switch or interface wiring.
If the UPAM does not activate, it may be defective.
Swap out with another UPAM if possible.

Paging Amplifier
Under certain circumstances, the installation procedure may jar the latching relays, causing a busy
tone to be heard in the handset when you try to call the UPAM. When connected to a station port, the
relays will reset when the default timer times out (max. 35 sec.) On ground start trunk ports, short terminals
T & R together for 5 seconds to reset the relays.
Ring Delay
If the preannounce/confirmation tone can be heard over the paging system, but is shortened, or
absent in the handset, it may be necessary to increase the length of ring before the UPAM answers. See
Ring Delay in Section 2 for the procedure to follow to increase the delay.
