ApplePhone 1.0: Known Issues

Notes: ApplePhone 1.0 and 1.0.1 is an example program that Apple does not support. The Macintosh AV team created the program to show the capabilities of the AV technology. Apple does not intend to do any further work to this example program and it has been removed from Apple Software Updates.

This ApplePhone software is NOT related in any way to the ApplePhone software that is a part of the Apple Telecom 3.x package. Apple Telecom 3.x also includes Apple Address Book and Apple Fax software.

Issues
ApplePhone is preset to answer the phone after 4 rings. This setting cannot be changed.

If you are using an Audiovision Display, you may experience feedback when using the built in microphone at the top of the display. The workaround is to use the included PlainTalk microphone by disconnecting the monitor's microphone cable and attaching the PlainTalk microphone and experimenting with placement.

ApplePhone keeps recording a phone message one or two minutes after the caller hangs up.

Sometimes ApplePhone hangs up on the caller after five seconds (fixed in ApplePhone 1.0.1).

ApplePhone only works through the left channel sound channel.

ApplePhone is not operational when speech is turned on. Turn speech off in the Speech Setup Control Panel.

If you play a CD using CD Remote or the Apple Audio CD Player, launching ApplePhone causes the sound volume to change significantly. The user can pause the audio CD while launching ApplePhone to avoid the problem.

ApplePhone only works with the Centris/Quadra 660AV and Quadra 840AV.
