HP 8370 (US/CAN), 8380 (US/CAN) manual Answering Machine, Think my computer has a virus

Page 17

I think my computer has a virus.

A virus check is run automatically when you start the computer. However, you can run a more thorough check by using your system tools. See “Using System Tools” on page 4.

Note: New types of viruses are invented all the time. Be sure to get regular updates of your virus scanning software from the software manufacturer so that you will be able to check for these new viruses.

I installed a new printer or other device, and it won’t work.

Be sure that you installed the device drivers that came with the new device.

Answering Machine

The computer’s answering machine never answers the phone.

Make sure that the Intel Connect® software is running. (The screen with the phone should be in an open window.) If the software is running, make the following adjustments from the Intel Connect main window:

1Click Setup.

2Click Answering.

3Choose either Answer as a voice mail system or Answer as an answering machine.
