Case of Difficulty, No Dial Tone | AT&T 906 instruction

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If this telephone does not work prop- erly, try the following suggestions before seeking repair assistance.

No Dial Tone

•Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Inspect the line cord con- nections at the modular jack and at the telephone. Also inspect the coiled handset cord connection at both ends.

•Make sure Hold is not on.

•Unplug the telephone and connect it to another modular jack. If it still does not work, and other tele- phones in your home are working, the problem is with this telephone. Call 1 800 722-9125.

Call Cannot Be Dialed Or Is Dialed Slowly

•This product comes set in the touch-tone mode. Make sure you choose the correct dialing method; touch tone dialing will not work if you have dial pulse service.

•See “Installation” to select the cor- rect dial mode. If you have pulse dialing service, you cannot dial numbers with the telephone set in the touch-tone mode.

•If you just used Temporary Tone, leave the handset on the base for a few seconds before making another call.

Telephone Does Not Ring

•Make sure the RINGER switch is set in the LO or HI position.

•If there are several other tele- phones on the same line, try disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too many telephones connected can also create problems such as low ringer volume, or impaired sound quality during calls.

Difficulty Storing Numbers In Memory

•Review “One-Touch Dialing” and “Speed Dialing” to make sure you are pressing the correct sequence of buttons.

•If you are interrupted by a record- ed announcement telling you to hang up (or a loud buzzing noise), hang up and try to enter the number more quickly.

•Try calling the number you want to store into memory. When a call

is ended, press , and a memory button (or press and a memory location 1-9).

•If someone lifts an extension phone while you are storing numbers in memory, programming might be interrupted. Make sure all extensions are on hook while storing numbers in memory.

•You might not hear the confirma- tion beep if the RECEIVER (handset) volume is set too low, or if you are in a noisy location.

•If the number is more than 24 digits long, make sure you follow the directions for “Dialing Long Numbers.”

Speakerphone Does Not Work The speakerphone might not work well is someone picks up an exten- sion phone on the same line. The speakerphone will come back on if the handset of the other phone is replaced.
