Incomplete
messages
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.
If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system
stops recording and disconnects the call.
Difficulty hear-
ing messages
Press ^ to increase speaker volume.
System does
not answer
after correct
number of rings
Make sure that the answering system is on.
If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when
you have new messages waiting (see page 29).
In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system
used by the local telephone company.
If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after
10 rings.
Announcement
message is not
clear
When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a
normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.
Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
On/Off button
is flashing
The On/Off button on the base flashes when one mailbox is turned
off. To stop the flashing, press ON/OFF, then set both mailboxes to
“On” (see page 24).
System does
not respond
to remote
commands
Be sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see pages 32-33).
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a
touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code
while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announce-
ment is over before entering the code.
There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.
Press dial-pad buttons firmly.
In case of difficulty
