AT&T 1725 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
1 800 222-3111.
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.
Press O to make sure the system is
on.
Messages Are Incomplete
The system can accept messages up to
three minutes long. If a caller leaves a
very long message, part of it might be
lost when the system disconnects the
call after three minutes.
If the caller pauses for more than
seven 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 RING SELECT switch is set to
TS (Toll Saver), 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
answering 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. The Remote
Access Code might revert to its original
setting.
CL Appears in the Message Window
You need to reset the clock.
