Appendix
Troubleshooting
System does not respond to remote commands.
Make sure the remote code is on and you have entered a three-digit
remote code (see Remote code on page 25).
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the telephone 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 announcement is over
before entering the code.
There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the
dialing keys firmly.
System does not record messages.
Make sure the answering system is on (see Answer on/off on page 21).
Make sure the memory of the answering system is not full.
If you have voicemail service in addition to your answering system, your
callers’ messages may be going into voicemail before your answering system
picks up the call. Program your voicemail to pick up at least two rings after
the number of rings your answering system is set to answer the call
(see Answering system and voicemail on page 52).
The outgoing announcement is not clear.
When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal
tone of voice, about nine inches from the telephone base.
Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording.
Voicemail appears and L1 and/or L2 flashes on the display.
Your telephone has voicemail indication that is separate from the built-in
answering system. If Voicemail appears and L1 and/or L2 flashes on the
display, then your telephone has received a signal from your telephone
service provider that you have a voicemail message on line 1 and/or line
2 waiting for you to retrieve from your telephone service provider. Contact
your telephone service provider for more information on how to access
your voicemail.
I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.
Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail
indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new
messages differently (see Answering system and voicemail on page 52).
If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider
(charges may apply), contact your telephone service provider for more
information on how to access your voicemail.
