  • Why does my phone start beeping when I place a call?
    There are two possible reasons that your phone beeps when powered up. The Automatic Answer feature or the Automatic Retry feature may be activated. The beeps are present to alert you to the fact that one or both of these functions are activated.

    1. The Automatic Answer feature will answer an incoming call if you do not answer it within 10 seconds. To change this function, Press FCN 5 while in Standby. Next, press the */# keys to enable or disable Automatic Answer. Finally, Press the END key to save your setting and to return to the Standby mode. NOTE: Automatic Answer is disabled when the Keypad Lock is enabled.

    2. The Automatic Retry feature will redial a number when the phone is unable to connect to the cellular system. If the call does not connect after 10 tries, a Reorder tone sounds and you must dial again. To access this feature, first press FCN 3 while in Standby. Retry (ON or OFF) displays. Second, press the * or # keys to enable or disable this feature. Third, to complete your selection and exit from this mode press the "STO", "END", or "CLR" key.

  • What is the power output (wattage) of my phone?
    The AH129 complies with the standards that have been adapted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The operating RF output power of this unit is between .06watts and .6 watts as regulated by the cellular system.

  • The person that I'm talking to can't hear me but I can hear them fine, am I doing something wrong?
    You may have activated the MUTE option by mistake. Pressing the "FCN" key and holding it down for more than one second activates the MUTE function. If the MUTE feature is active, you will see the word "MUTE" on the top left side of the display. To deactivate this feature simply press any key and mute will be cancelled. If you are still experiencing a problem, your phone may have an internal component problem and the unit must be sent to a Service Center for evaluation and possible repair.

  • My new 1350 mAh NiMH battery is not fully charging, do I have a defective battery or I'm I doing something wrong?
    Your AH-129 has a timed charging cycle of 2 hours, this feature was designed to charge the standard and extended life NiCad batteries. The Nickel Metal Hydrate (NiMH) battery, with it's longer Standby and Talk times, requires a longer charging cycle (3.5 hours). This can be accomplished with your AH-129. After you have charged your HiMH battery for 2 hours simply unplug your phone from the AC outlet/cigarette socket, remove the battery for approximately 10 seconds, reinstall the battery and reconnect the power source. The timed charging circuit built into the AH-129 will have been reset and will now charge the battery for an additional 2 hours bringing it's capacity up to a full and complete charge.
