system disconnects the call after four minutes.
If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the
answering system stops recording and disconnects the call.

disconnect the call.
The answering system does not respond to remote commands.

there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and
cannot activate the answering system.

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.
I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my

Make sure your computer is powered on.

telephone service.
Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on
your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not

If you are using a rewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone
service. Contact your service provider for more information.
