Hi there


I have just bought a flat that has a very old door entry system that
isn't working properly. The following functions work fine:
visitors can hear me speak;
However,
visitors can't hear my voice.


Gonna run that past us again ......

Oops! I meant i can hear visitors, but they can't hear me. Well
spotted, and thanks.

OK, so, assuming the speaker in the flat unit doubles as a microphone
when you press the 'speak' button, then the fault most probably lies in
the mechanism that switches from 'speak' to 'listen' in the flat unit.
I've no idea whether your system uses a mechanical switch, a relay, or
electronic switching, but the fault could be as simple as a dirty
contact in the button.
