Messages Are Incomplete

System Does Not Answer After Correct Number Of Rings

If the Toll Saver feature is in operation, the number of rings changes from four

to two when you have new messages waiting.

In some cases, the system might be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company.

If the system’s memory is full, or the system is off, the system answers after 10 rings.

System Does Not Respond

To Remote Commands

Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not a touch tone telephone.

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

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

Make sure you are entering your Remote Access Code correctly.

You might be calling from a phone that sends tones too short for your answer- ing system to detect.

Power Failure Recovery
