THE UNIT CAN COPY, BUT CANNOT EITHER TRANSMIT/RECEIVE LONG DISTANCE OR INTERNATIONL COMMUNICATIONS The following two causes can be considered for this symptom.
Page 57
KX-FPC91 (Cause and Countermeasure) As shown in the chart above, the total handshaking time must be reduced, but because of the long distance connection and linking of several stations, the line connection time cannot be reduced. Accordingly, the following countermeasures should be tried.
Page 58
KX-FPC91 (Cause C) This model is FAX1 and the other party is FAX2. For transmission from this model to FAX2, FAX2 executes automatic reception and transmits a CED signal (2100 Hz) followed by a DIS signal. As the echo cancelers stops as described in cause B, the echo of the DIS signal returns to FAX2. On the other hand, this model detects the DIS signal and transmits a DCS signal.

The symptom: No response when the power is turned on. (No LCD display, and keys are not accepted.) The first step is to check the power source.
Page 72
KX-FPC91 2.3.6.1. DIGITAL BLOCK DIAGRAM You also need to check the signal lines listed here [List 1] when the unit fails to boot up the system. Those signal lines should remain normal. Other signal lines are not directly related to that failure even if they have faults or troubles.
