Problem

Solution

No Display

• If you are using battery power, try replacing

the battery.

• If you are using AC power, make sure that the

unit is connected to a non-switched electrical

outlet. Disconnect the unit from the plug and

plug it in again. Either the message WAITING

or the most recent record is displayed.

• Did you order Caller ID service from your local

telephone company? This unit requires that

you subscribe to Caller ID service in

order to work.

Data Error Message

• The unit displays this message if it detects

anything other than valid Caller ID information

during the silent period after the first ring.

This message indicates either the presence of

noises on the line, or that an invalid message

has been sent from the telephone company.
