System does not respond to remote commands

•Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 36).

•Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.

•The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announce- ment is over before entering the code.

•There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using. Press dial-pad buttons firmly.

Announcement message is not clear

•When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.

•Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you are recording.
