Answering system operation

System does not respond to remote commands

Make sure you are calling from a touch tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be audible tones. If there are clicks instead, the telephone is not a touch tone telephone.

The answering system may not detect the remote access code while the announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.

There may be noise interference on the telephone line. Press the dial buttons firmly.

Make sure the remote access code is entered correctly.

You might be calling from a telephone which sends tones too short for the answering system to detect.

If there are many messages recorded, the system may take longer than usual to respond.

will not operate. The announcement and messages are

 

retained in memory during a power failure, but it will be

 

necessary to reset the clock. See the instructions at the

 

bottom of the answering machine.

 

• If the system announces, “Power failure” after announcing

 

the time and day, it may be necessary to reset the clock.

 

See the instructions at the bottom of the unit.
