IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If you hear noise in the handset and the buttons don’t work

The base unit and handset might not be set to the same security code. Place the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds to reset the security code.

If speakerphone conversation sounds distorted

After the phone is powered up, the speakerphone initializes for about 10–15 seconds the first time it is used. Conversation should be clear after this.

If messages are incomplete

If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after three minutes.

If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

If you have difficulty hearing messages

Check the speaker VOLUME setting.

If the system does not answer after correct number of rings

Make sure that the Message Counter in the base is on. If it is off, press

O.

If Toll Saver is on, the number of rings changes from four to two when you have new messages waiting. See “Ring Select and Toll Saver” in the ANSWERING SYSTEM SET-UP section of this manual.

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

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

If CL appears in Message Counter

If the clock stops running because of a power failure, CL blinks in the Message Counter to indicate that the clock should be reset. See “Setting the Clock” in the ANSWERING SYSTEM SET-UP section of this manual.
