telephone - very quiet dial tone

[Martin Burchell]

The speaker has gone very quiet in the handset of my Audioline tel 18
telephone. When I pick up the handset I hear the normal dial tone,
but it quickly fades to almost inaudible volume.

The rest of the phone appears to be working - people on the other end
of the line can hear me no problem. Also I am convinced it is a fault
in the phone - I get the same problem when it is plugged into another
socket but another telephone in the house works fine.

I had a look inside and couldn't see anything obviously blown. Switch
cleaner didn't help matters.

Any suggestions?

You would have to be able to troubleshoot the audio circuits for a failed

very skilled in this field, have the service info, and also the tools to
do this type of work.

I have experienced this with an audioline phone, it was a dirty contact
on the hookswitch. If the hookswitch is an open type try scrubbing the
surfaces with some emery paper or something.

I found that problem in an International cordless phone. It was a cracked
solder joint in the handset unit.
