not respond
to remote
commands.
• Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 38).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone.
When dialing a number, you should hear tones. If you
hear clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and
cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the remote
access code when your announcement is playing. Wait
until the announcement is over before entering the
code.
• There may be interference on the telephone line you are
using. Press the dial pad keys firmly when dialing.

the cordless handset in the telephone base. If it does
not seem to respond, try the following (in the order
listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
2. Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset.
3. Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the
telephone base.
4. Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset
into the telephone base .

connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one
minute for this to take place.
