If you have difficulty hearing messages

•If messages are garbled, the recording heads may be soiled and should be cleaned.

•Unplug the system from the electrical outlet.

•Remove the cassette tape.

•Use any good tape deck cleaning kit, and follow the manufacturer's instructions

— OR —

Rub the front face of the record- ing heads lightly with a soft, clean cotton swab moistened slightly with isopropyl alcohol.

•Use any cleaning fluid sparingly. If you spill fluid into the interior, unplug power and line cords and let the system dry thoroughly before using.

•Try sliding the Volume control on the side of the base upward to increase volume.

If the recording tape sticks or malfunctions

•Use only high-quality MC-30 or MC-60 microcassette tapes.

•If the tape has been used for an extended period, it may be worn and should be replaced.

If the system does not answer after the correct number of rings

•If the Ring Select switch is set toTS, the system answers after 4 rings when you have no new messages, and after

2 rings when you have new messages.

•The system might be off, or the tape might be full. In either of these cases, the system answers after 10 rings.

•The tape might be missing, broken, or incorrectly installed.

•Make sure you are calling from a touch tone telephone. If you hear clicks when you dial, the phone is not a touch tone phone.

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

•Make sure you are entering your Remote Access Code correctly.

•A power failure might have caused the Remote Access Code to revert to its original setting.
