• Check to make sure that each telephone set

 

has a unique extension number. If the sets

 

receive AC power at the same time, either

 

at initial installation or after a power failure, the

 

extension numbers may be the same. Refer

 

to the EXTENSION NUMBER section of the

 

installation guide, (page 32).

Installation Guide).

 

• There may be too many extension telephones on

 

the telephone line to allow all of them to ring

 

simultaneously. Try unplugging one phone at a

 

time until the phones start ringing.

 

• Test a working telephone at the same

 

telephone jack. If another telephone has

 

the same problem, the problem is in the

 

telephone jack. Contact your local telephone

 

company (charges may apply).

 

• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning.

 

Try installing a new telephone line cord.

 

• Make sure the Do Not Disturb feature is not activated

 

(page 15).

 

• Make sure the ringer delay time (page 34 of the

 

installation guide) is not longer than the answer

 

delay time of the answering system (page 58 of the

 

installation guide). This would cause the answering

 

system to answer the call before the phone rings.

 

• If you are on a call, there will be a beep to alert

 

you of incoming calls on the other lines.

 

• Make sure that the LINE GROUP assignment is

 

correct. See page 43 of the installation guide.
