Troubleshooting

•If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

The messages on the answering system are very difficult to hear.

•Press /VOL+ on the telephone base or VOL/ on the handset to increase the speaker volume.

The messages on the answering system are incomplete.

•If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering 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.

•If the caller’s voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and disconnect the call.

The answering system does not respond to remote commands.

•Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 16).

•Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be tones. If there are 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 firmly when dialing.

I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my computer to establish connections, and my telephone doesn’t work.

•Make sure your computer is powered on.

•Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.

•Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional 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 powered.

•In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.

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