Problem Suggestion
The answering system
does not respond to
remote commands.
Make sure your remote access code is correct (see page 29).
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 rmly
when dialing.
My cordless handset
beeps five times and
is not performing
normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a
different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds and
plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and the telephone base
to synchronize.
Other electrictronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing
your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios,
radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
