Solution

 

 

• General problems.

None of the answering machine

 

functions will operate while the

 

telephone is in use.

Ensure that the telephone is not in use before operating the answering machine.

•Will not record incoming messages.

•Will not answer calls.

The answering machine is switched off.

The answering machine is full.

Switch the answering machine on manually or by remote control.

Delete some or all of your messages manually or by remote control, to make room for new messages.

•Distorted outgoing message.

•Faint outgoing message.

•Noisy outgoing message.

The answering machine has a very sensitive microphone. This picks up any background noise. If you record your outgoing message too quietly or from too far away the sensitivity of the microphone increases to compensate and will pick up more background noise.

Record your outgoing message at a reasonable volume 20cm away from the microphone in a quiet environment.

•No call screening from the base unit.

•Cannot hear messages when played.

The volume is set too low.

Press and release the end of the volume control with the larger symbol until the unit is loud enough.

• Back-up batteries fail

Frequent power failures will drain

frequently.

the back-up batteries.

 

Unplugging the base unit from the

 

power supply drains the back-up

 

batteries.

Leave the base unit plugged in, or remove the back-up batteries before unplugging.

Switching the mains supply off will drain the back-up batteries.

Do not switch off.. Or remove the back-up batteries before switching off.
