AT&T 1715 Answering Machine User Manual


 
IN CASE OF
DIFFICULTY
If this answering system does not work
properly, try the following suggestions.
If you’re still having difficulty, call
1 800 722-9125.
Message Window Is Blank
Make sure the power cord is securely
connected to both the answering system
and an electrical outlet not controlled by
a wall switch.
Use only the power cord supplied with
this product. For a replacement, call
1 800 722-9125.
Press O to make sure the system
is on.
Messages Are Incomplete
The system can accept messages up to 3
minutes long. If a caller leaves a very
long message, part of it might be lost
when the system disconnects the call
after 3 minutes.
If the caller pauses for more than 7
seconds, the system stops recording and
disconnects the call.
If the system’s memory fills up during a
message, the system stops recording and
disconnects the call.
System Does Not Answer After
Correct Number Of Rings
If the Toll Saver feature is in operation,
the number of rings changes from four
to two when you have new messages
waiting.
In some cases, the system might be
affected by the ringing system used by
the local telephone company.
If the system’s memory is full, or the
system is off, the system answers after
10 rings.
System Does Not Respond
To Remote Commands
Make sure you are calling from a touch
tone phone. When you dial a number,
you should hear tones. If you hear clicks
instead, the phone is not a touch tone
telephone.
The answering system may not detect the
Remote Access Code while your
announcement is playing. Try waiting
until the announcement is over before
entering the code.
There may be noise interference on the
phone line you are using. Press dial
buttons firmly.
Make sure you are entering your Remote
Access Code correctly.
You might be calling from a phone that
sends tones too short for your answer-
ing system to detect.
Power Failure Recovery
If the system is disconnected from AC power it
will not operate. Your announcement and
messages are retained in memory during a
power failure, but you will need to reset the
clock.
